    Trek 522 left Port Moresby for Kokoda around 9am yesterday and we heard they arrived at Isurava Village around 4pm in the afternoon where they spent the night.

    One of the 'Andrew's' asked for a porter at Deniki as he found the going tough. This morning they were up bright and early to continue their walk towards Eora Creek. Trekkers include :

    • Andrew Appleton
    • Chris Wilson
    • Andrew McIntosh
    • Brent Byrne
    • Benjamin Woods
    • Morwenna Kirwan
    • Joanne Richards

    Their guide is Paul Esiko.

    The photographs are as follows:

    11th April: Heard from the track today that all is still going according to plan. When we spoke to Paul their guide they were heading to Brown River and would then push on to Nauro where they will sleep tonight.
