A UK couple have become the first people to walk the entire length of the Great Wall of China unaided.
Katie Cooper and Tarka L’Herpiniere trekked nearly 3,000 miles, walking up to 30 miles a day, and braving temperatures ranging 104F to minus 31F.
Katie - a professional model - almost died during the six-month charity expedition, which finished at the North Korean border, when she collapsed with gastroenteritis.
Tarka, who runs an expedition company, said: "As a model she’s always perceived as a blonde, useless bimbo who loves her make-up and high heels.
"But she wanted to prove there was a bit more substance to her. She left her make-up at home, though she did carry a nail file, tweezers and some face cream." The couple are now recuperating at their Devon home.

A German woman has admitted driving her son to rob a shop.
Daniela Langer, 36, from Dresden, was horrified when she discovered her 18-year-old son Marcel was planning to target a jewellery store.
Unable to change his mind, Daniela decided to drive her son to the scene of the crime and act as look-out because she was "worried" about his safety.
She told a court: "He was determined to do it and I could not talk him out of it, so I offered to drive him there to keep an eye on him. I was worried about him." Marcel and two male accomplices broke into the store and stole £25,000 worth of jewellery.
Daniela learned of Marcel’s plan when she went to a DIY store with him and he asked her to get him some rope and duct tape.
The trial continues.

Bald German men are excluded from "long-term hair replacement support", according to a new court ruling.
Men without hair have no right to state-funded wigs, unlike women and minors.
A court in the south-west state of Rhineland-Palatinate refused to approve an appeal made by a man to allow a statutory health insurer cover the costs of his hairpieces. They ruled the case was not unique enough among men to warrant his request.
The man based his appeal on the legislation that permits women and minors to request such funding.
A court statement read: "The hair’s protective function against he sun and the cold can easily be replaced by a hat. The health insurance does not have to pay for that."

A Chinese grandmother who visited a hospital complaining of a headache was shocked to discover a bullet had been lodged in her head for 64 years.
Jin Guangying, 77, of Shuyang town, Jiangsu province, decided to get an x-ray at Shuyang Leniency Hospital to determine the cause of her head pain.
Her son, Wang Zhengbang, said: "We were surprised to learn that there was a bullet inside her head." Jin said she was shot by the invading Japanese army in 1943 during the World War II while she was delivering supplies to her father, a member of the guerrilla forces.
The chief surgeon, who performed the surgery to remove the rusty bullet, was surprised the ammunition had remained in her head for so long without causing severe health complications.

The world’s first-ever underwater golf tournament has been held in China.
Five players participated in the event in at the Zuohai Aquarium, in Fuzhou city, Fujian province, playing in a 50 ft. deep tank.
An aquarium spokesman said: "The rules are pretty much the same as for regular golf. Whoever gets the ball in the hole wins the match." An additional rule is that players were judged on how long it took them to complete a hole. Timeliness took precedence over number of strokes.
The spokesman added: "The water makes the match very interesting. Not only fish and mammals distract the players, but their buoyancy makes it hard for them to stabilise themselves." The winner finished the hole in one minute and 20 seconds. The fifth-place contestant took five minutes.

Two boys have been arrested for holding up a US shop with toy water pistols.
The 14-year-old and 11-year-old males disguised the pistols with black tape during the raid in Kansas City, terrifying the shop’s workers.
Although the guns weren’t loaded with either water or bullets, the boys are still in trouble and face robbery charges.
Policeman Patrick Kitchens said: "The boys demanded cash and displayed the gun as they walked into the store.
"While the older boy struggled with the clerk, the younger one reached into a cash register and grabbed cash.
"They bolted from the store but couldn’t outrun police officers, who made the arrests within minutes." Police recovered the gun left behind in the store and claim the fact it was a toy makes no difference.

Britain’s oldest driver has vowed to keep on driving at the age of 105 - even though she has never passed her test.

Sheila recently had a little accident in her car and is hoping it won’t affect her licence.
The widow said: "I never passed my test. We didn’t have them in those days.
"When I turned 70, I signed a form saying I was still able and driving. I’ve heard nothing since.
"I hope they don’t take my licence away. That would be terrible. I would have to give up church and a lot of things." Mrs Thomson also drives to the shops every day and picks up an 80-year-old friend on the way to church.
