Yesterday we met up with our latest group of trekkers who arrived in PNG to commence their trek today from Owers' Corner. Trekkers in this group are made up as follows:
- Kellie Betts
- Andrew Wilgose
- Lauren Kropp
Leading this trek is Arnold Jinga as their guide.
IMGP3686__640x480_.JPGTrekkers were picked up at 6:30am from Sogeri Lodge and driven out to Owers' Corner. After arriving, our KTL boys prepared the group to move off and they departed down their first descent around 7:30am.
We heard from Arnold Jinga that they did really well today and have reached Ua'Ule Creek where they will spend the night.

IMGP3680__640x480_.JPGHeard today that trekkers are doing ok. Our guide phoned from Emita Ridge and said everything is going ahead as per plan and trekkers and porters are doing well.
Trekkers spent last night at the half way point of Efogi. Arnold said they were all doing ok and pleased with themselves. Today they will move on to 1900 campsite.
Gail,
I wonder if it would be possible to get a very quick message to Andy Wilgose & Lauren Kropp.
Watching your daily progress with great interest on internet. Take care and enjoy this wonderful experience.

We heard from the track today that they were all at Isurava Monument area and were moving on down the track to spend their last night in the bush. It was a bad line and they promised to phone again later today.
Firstly, my apology as I have been having problems these past few days connecting to the internet. The trekkers as planned walked off the track yesterday and spent the night at Orohaven Kokoda Retreat.
This morning they travelled down to Popondetta for their flight to Port Moresby. We met with them and they had huge smiles on their faces as they commented on their trek. They spoke highly of the boys who accompanied them on the track before heading down to the departure area to await their flight back home.
Thank you trek 676 for choosing to trek with Kokoda Trekking.
