This morning we said goodbye to trek 700 when they left Owers' Corner to head down to Ua'Ule Creek to spend the night. Trekkers in this group include two doctors:
1. Dr. Jacqueline Marks
2. Dr. Matthew Rowe
3. David CameronThere was supposed to be three brothers also on this trek but at the last minute pulled out due to one of them falling ill and the other two brothers not wanting to walk without him.
The remaining three booked on this trek can be seen in the photographs below minutes before leaving Sogeri Lodge

P1080184__800x600_.jpgThe guide for this trek is Shane Thomas:
P1080182__800x600_.jpgTrekkers as planned spent last night at Ua'Ule Creek and today called in whilst on the move heading to Naoro Village where they will spend the night. Shane said everyone is doing extremely well and they are now talking about getting out a day early and going rafting down the Mamba river. Am assuming some of their porters are putting thoughts into their heads!

Trekkers spent last night at Naduri and today will head to Isurava before walking off the track tomorrow into Kokoda.
After leaving Ua'Ule Creek they headed to Naoro and then onto Manari choosing to skip Efogi and reach Naduri. Everyone continues to do well.
IMGP3492__640x480_.JPGCongratulations to trek 700 as they walked off the track today into Kokoda and at the moment are relaxing around the bar at Orohaven Kokoda Retreat. David did it a bit tougher then the other two and is very excited it seems and was hugging the boys. Tomorrow they will no doubt have a very relaxing day in Kokoda before heading back into town on Monday.
A few minutes ago I received word that a bridge crossing is out so will now have to think how I am going to get them in from Kokoda.
