On the 20th May a group of mates left Port Moresby to commence their Kokoda trek. All were pumped up and ready to GO. The same morning they arrived from Cairns and were met by us at the airport and not long after had boarded our truck for the start of their trek.
Trekkers include :
Dion Ciavola; Zac Anver; Ashley Sheard; Ambrose Swindon; Colin Sheard; Brian Howlett; Adam Webb; Allan Swindon; John Cumberland and William Slattery.
DSCN0152__Small___2_.JPGUpdate 23rd May: Our guide radioed in yesterday to say they were at Naoro heading down to Agulogo where they would spend the night. He apologised for not getting a message through the previous day as he could not get a signal out. They spent the first night at 'Goodwater' and the next night at Ofi Creek. A couple of the older trekkers are doing it tough but the boys spread the load around and now they are doing just fine it seems.

IMG_1420__Small___Small_.jpgBy lunch time today they had reached Kovelo village where they were welcomed by a traditional sing sing.
As a group they decided not to spend the night at Kovelo and opted to walk to Kokoda. They had a look around the Kokoda Station monument area before heading to our camp to overnight.
Congratulations Trek 483, well done from all of us here at Kokoda Trekking.
