IMGP3781 640×480.JPGThis trek is now at Ofi Creek. According to Eric, everyone is doing well. Its the first time Eric has walked with these boys as a group and he was quick to comment that they are a well trained bunch of boys and that he was very happy with them. So there you go, your loved ones are in good hands and no doubt despite the pain of walking the hills of Kokoda, they are already enjoying the company of the boys as they walk the Kokoda Trail.
IMGP3445 640×480.JPGThis trek is now at Agulogo camped by the river for the night. Earlier today they walked up Maguli Range and through Naoro Village before heading to where they are at the moment.
We now have treks spread out a cross the track. The trek a day behind them is presently at Naoro. Another trek ahead of them is at Menari and yet another one at Efogi.
No doubt tomorrow there will be a few handshakes as the ones walking in the opposite direction run into each other and cross paths.

Agulogo.JPGBoth treks 910 & 933 met up with each other earlier today around Brigade Hill area. When I was talking to Wayne from trek 906, he said they were all heading to Naduri Village for the night. All trekkers on both treks are doing great.
Naduri Village.jpgTrek 906 & Trek 910 appear to have stuck together since joining up around Brigade Hill. They spent a night at Dump 1 followed by Templetons and when Wayne phoned they were at Alola Village at 2pm about to head to Isurava.
This trek will push on down to Isurava Village for the night and will walk into Kokoda approx midday tomorrow.
Everyone is well and looking forward to completing their successful trek.
