Trekkers have now reached Menari Village and are all still going well. Emma has probably been doing it the toughest but is hanging in there and Pat says she is ok. After morning tea in Naoro they headed for Agulogo where they stopped and cooled off with a swim in the creek before moving off to Menari arriving there mid afternoon. Tomorrow they will climb up Brigade Hill another tough climb before walking through Efogi the half way point. They will not stop at Efogi but head to Kagi for the night. Apparently no other trekking companies on the track at the moment so they have it all to themselves, well at this point of their walk. A few drops of rain as I was talking to Pat so hopefully it continued and cooled their air for them.

Menari Village aerial pic.jpgThe group have now reached Kagi Village and continue to do well. From Efogi up to Kagi they walked in rain so a cool change from the 'normal' walk to this village is normally like. At the time I spoke to them, they were preparing for their evening meal. Tomorrow they will head to Eora Creek.
Richard Kagi.jpgThis trek have decided to stop and camp at Dump 1 for the night instead of heading down to Eora Creek to give them a shorter day. Tomorrow the plan is to reach Isurava Village for the night. Trekkers and porters continue to do well.

Emma is doing it really tough so will be mighty proud of herself tomorrow along with other trekkers when they walk under the archway in Kokoda approximately midday tomorrow. Go trek 1008, you are almost at the finish line.
