Hi all,
Just joined up here and founding the info provided and the espirt de corp of the people exceelent (both website and company owners and the trekkers).
We are a couple Norm – 38 Semi Retired Soldier now Public Servant and Marion 29 – Midwife and RN.

We are planning our first trek for the school holiday period in Jun July, as yet havent booked or settled on a provider however in the progress stages.

We live in Townsville and are enjoying the "pre-season training on the Goat track" with a intenT to upgrade to Mt Stuart as the training increases.

If theres anyone from Townsville looking at doing Kokoda drop us a line. Anyone planning around the same dates say hi too…

Look fwd to getting to know one and all and appreciate the assistance allready given by your posts and website.

Hi Marion n Norm

Welcome to the forum. You will find lots of good advice in these pages.

As you haven't settled on a provider yet, I would strongly encourage you to trek with KTL. We trekked with them in August 2008. I have spoken with friends who have trekked with other companies, and they were amazed that we didn't need to take extra rations (I challenge anyone to eat their whole KTL ration pack each day!) and that we had only eight trekkers in our group. We had a very experienced guide (over 400 treks under his belt) and had a brilliant time.

I am hoping to return to PNG maybe next year, and I would not even consider another trekking company. There, that's the plug over with …

Keep up the training. Trust me, the more it hurts now the less it will hurt on the track. Look forward to the absolute best experience of your lives. You won't be disappointed.

cheers
Mary

Hi N & M,

We reside in Townsville & flog the Danniella & Goat Tracks daily or should I say it floggs me.

My son (Andy 13), & myself (Allan 48), completed the track in 08. We are looking to return in Sept this year.

We completed the track with a group of seven last time & most are doing the return trip. We are looking to expand our numbers.

If you are interested or just want to have a chat about training. Just let us know.

Avagreatday
Thanks
Al & Andy
