In November 2011, Rob Lilwall and professional cameraman Leon McCarron, set off on an epic 5,000 km winter expedition through the heart of China.
Carrying all of their gear, they started amidst the wastelands of Outer Mongolia from where they head south by foot through the Gobi Desert.
Crossing into China, they followed the Great Wall down to the turbulent waters of the Yellow River and walked alongside it downstream to the legendary city of Xi An. Leaving the water, they then hiked onwards through the snow-capped mountains of central China, until finally they reach their finishing point at the glittering skyscrapers of Hong Kong, in May 2012.
The expedition has been commissioned to become a television series, and it will also act as a sequel to Rob’s televised three-year Cycling Home From Siberia expedition.
