Turns out its a small world, as driving around Port Moresby, it seems Susan Forsyth and myself have something in common. We both worked for Deloitte's and not only that co-incidence, but she was recruited by David Murray.

A big day today for trekkers – in fact a 10 hour day. They walked up to Kagi and then decided to head to Myola before ending up at Templeton's area for the night. Tomorrow plan a) is to end up at Isurava Memorial, plan b) is to head to Isurava Village. All trekkers continue to do well in both treks presently on the go.Templeton's Crossing 1.jpg

She sounded very excited as she explained to me her day. Sounds like its tough but she is thoroughly enjoying herself out on the trail. They plan on starting…[Read more]
