Agulogo.JPGAs planned trekkers have reached Menari Village where they are spending the night. One of our staff by the name of Jerry phoned me around 7pm tonight to inform me all was good with the group and that they had a good day.
Tomorrow they have another short day as they are planning to walk down to Efogi Village.

Menari Creek (2).JPGTrekkers reached Efogi earlier today and will no doubt enjoy the mattresses tonight, their first on the track since they left Sogeri Lodge. Today represents the half way point so they have been doing really well so far. Picture them tomorrow as they climb the hill below.
Climbing from Efogi to Lanununu Village.jpgTrekkers have now reached 1900/Myola Junction. Some of the trekkers went and looked at the plane today whilst others prepared the campsite area. Everyone continues to do well and now looking forward to the finish in Kokoda.

Taken whilst walking to Myola Junction.jpgTrekkers spent last night at Eora Creek. This morning Arnold phoned from Alola Village to say there were about to head to Isurava Memorial area for morning tea.
Top Crossing of Eora Creek.jpgThe plan for today was to stop for the night at Deniki. Unless they got there quite early and pressed on to Hoi, am assuming they are now spending the night at Deniki.
According to Arnold, they are all doing well and will walk off the track tomorrow morning.
