Three trekkers arrived in town to commence their walk across the track. They were met at the airport and taken to their accommodation. Later in the afternoon they went to the Royal Papua Yacht Club for dinner before hitting the sack for an early rise the next morning.
Trekkers were picked up from where they overnighted and driven out to Bomana War Cemetery on the morning of the 18th June and got away from Owers' Corner around 7am. Trekkers in this group include :
[*]Peter Bruce
[*]Bruce Murrell
[*]Cal LoudonOn the way to the drop off point at Owers' Corner, trekkers stopped at McDonald's Corner.

Naoro 640×480.jpgThe guide for this trek is Trevor Jinga. Last night he informed me they were all doing just great. It seems its dry with no rain at the moment so they are making good time as they move along the track.
Trevor Jinga1.jpgTrekkers reached Menari as planned where they spent the night. This morning they would be preparing themselves to reach Kagi Village. So another tough day ahead of them today as they have a hard climb up Brigade Hill before walking down and through Efogi.
There is an airstrip at Menari so picture them today walking alongside of it.
