SLIDESHOW: It was great - and we walked that wall
See gallery of pictures as duo triumph in China charity trek
Awesome. Amazing. And downright scary in parts. That was the verdict when Debbie Robinson and Lesley Earl returned from their epic adventure, raising at least 9,500 for the Luton&Dunstable Hospital premature baby unit.
Both of the Bedfordshire Newspapers' advertising girls suffer from vertigo and Debbie admits to spending a lot of time crying her eyes out looking at the 4,000 ft sheer drops.
They also had to endure wasps as big as their fingers, squidgy sandwiches and primitive loo facilities. But they both loved every minute and learned a lot about the history of the wall and their own stamina under adversity.
They were part of a 23-strong British group which included two Scots who completed the climb in kilts and tartan trews.
They were so inspired by their achievement that they hope to trek Peru in aid of Keech Cottage children's hospice.
