Last night they were invited guests at the Eroro family block where Emmanuel Eroro had kept our backpacks under his care.

Naoro.jpgCongratulations are in order as today this trek walked under the archway at Owers' Corner. Well done to you all as this was a fast trek and to cover the distance in the time frame you chose was a gutsy effort.
