Christoph Rehage's hairy travel video

German adventurer Christoph Rehage from Bad Nenndorf (somewhere nearby Hannover) recorded his journey across China, through deserts, sandstorms, extreme heat and blizzards, while growing “a mighty long beard”. When ending his trip - which stretched 4646km from Beijing to the desert of Gobi - in November of 2008, Christoph decided to compile images of himself taken throughout the trip into a video to showcase his transformation.
