IMG_0963__Small_.JPGUpdate 5th July: Trekkers today passed through Nauro Village and headed down to Ofi Creek where they will spend the night. Tony mentioned a guitar we flew into Efogi reached its destination of Agulogo so hopefully will not get stolen and will be played by plenty of trekkers and porters alike when they camp in that area from now on.

DSC02657__Small___2_.jpgUpdate 6th July: Trekkers were on the move today and passed through Ioribaiwa towards Imita Ridge heading for Goldie River their destination today where they are now camped.
Tomorrow morning we have been advised they will come up the hill at 8am.
No doubt they will have had their final singalong tonight and by now will have turned in for their last nights sleep in the bush no doubt dreaming of a hot shower.
Looking forward to catching up with them tomorrow. Trekkers should be back in their respective hotels around 1pm.
