Thanks 39thdecendant. Good idea about hooking it onto you pack to dry too.

He said they are both doing ok and surviving! He said he has a sore bum and other aches & pains but is doing ok.The walk up to Brigade Hill today was hard he remarked.…[Read more]

Hi Fluppy,i took three sports bra's and they worked fine, the one I washed i would hook onto my pack and it would dry as i walked.

Hello Callum & Ben, have just been looking at the photos wow it looks awesome!Hope you both are enjoying the trek, hope to see you and hear all about it when you return home.Love from Aunt Judy & Uncle Ron {Callums reli's}Bye for now.

All good advice in replies above. I use the bi-carb solution to clean mildew and scum from my "Unbottle". But if I could offer one other point for your consideration….If you are experiencing any funny taste (especially plastic or rubber) then it's a given that these contaminants are detaching from the container itself and are being consumed by…[Read more]

Picture them today walking along the Kokoda Track heading towards Naduri with the ultimate aim of arriving in Efogi sometime this afternoon.IMG_0947__Small_.JPGIMG_0951__Small_.JPGNaduri__Small_.jpg

Update 2nd November: Trek 439 spent last night at Myola Junction and this morning are heading towards Efogi the half way point. Both trekkers and our guide and porters are doing well. I suspect the PNG boys would have been thinking about the match between the Kiwi's and PNG held on the Gold Coast last night. I do not know if that was what you…[Read more]

Hello lovelyDavid and Janette are all here watching the Rugby but thinking mostly of you. Trust the feet are OK and the spirits are high (ours are!!) Hi Cal.Love from all of us.Leanne(more Love) Duane David and Janette XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi Tegs, hope you are still reading the KTL Website.I can only agree with the advice offered by Gail, Mrs Moo and Geoff and add my own as well.It is a shame if your Brother can't make it, but please don't let that deter you from going, it could well be a life changing experience for you. You could also request other female Trekkers to trek with…[Read more]

Tonkdogger, have to agree with KT, the number of times you need to have drink far outweighs the 'rubber' taste. I didn't clean mine, but the taste did lesson as the days wore on, I also trained with mine for 4 months or so, before I trekked. But the two suggested ideas will no doubt work well for you as well. Good luck and keep drinking and the…[Read more]

Hi ColinJust read your message about trekking next year and the good advice from Geoff & Mrs Moo. I did the trek in Apr/May 05 just after my 60th and I found the first day the most challenging as we walked from Kokoda to Isurava Memorial in one go and I carried my full pack that day. My (younger) Brother and I shared a Porter and he was quick…[Read more]

Congratulations Gail on the work that has been done at Kokoda Airstrip, I know you would have been the instigator in most if not all the fantastic work that has been done there. Just another reason why more people should trek with you as you put more back into the Country and specifically the Orokaiva people than any other trekking company. Well…[Read more]
