White Mountain. Matt and I both felt wretched all morning and didn't manage to climb much. Spent most of the day watching the other climbers make things look easy.

Fun day of rock climbing at Low Mountain and Space Buttress. Felt pretty weak climbing and couldn't do much before my arms fell off the wall and refused to grab anything. Luckily we were in good company with some really experienced climbers to entertain us with their amazing feats. Felt terrible in the evening and night.

Slept for ages then wandered around Yangshuo feeling very sorry for ourselves. Felt a bit better in the evening.

Run around Yangshuo with Matt. Unfortunately felt wretched for the whole run after having eaten a dodgy meal of clay pot rice. Turned out to be a very rough night for both of us.

Sightseeing run in the rain with Matt around Guilin's inner-city riverwalks and karst formations. Meant to head out for half an hour but the sights were too amazing.

Ran up and down Xi Shan (West Mountain) in Kunming with Matt. Interesting spiky limestone formations at the top to hop around on. Beautiful sunny day so stopped for a picnic in Haigeng Park at the bottom of the run. Spent the night on the train to Guilin in Guanxi Province.

Run around Green Lake, through university and to the Lotus Pond Park and back. Now this was an exciting run because we happened upon a school group from Shenzhen doing some orienteering training at the university and they let us have a quick run!

Orienteering around the Yunnan University. So exciting to do some orienteering.
