DSCN0144__Small_.JPGTheir first overnight was spent at Camp 66 and the following day they had hoped to reach Ofi Creek but I have not heard from the track yesterday. Today they should be heading for Agulogo/Menari area.
John Derick Eroro got sick and turned back so handed over the trek to his brother Johnsford. He returned yesterday and said all were doing ok when he left them to return to Owers' Corner.
We heard today that they did overnight at Ofi Creek last night and today were hoping to reach Agulogo Campsite. All trekkers continue to do well and appear to be enjoying themselves.
Tomorrow they will head to Efogi.
