Yacht Club2.jpgTrekkers got away on time yesterday and spent last night at Ua'Ule Creek.
Today, trekkers arrived at Ofi Creek around 3pm. When Ernst Jinga contacted me the trekkers were down in the creek having their wash. Its been a wet slippery track up to this point but everyone continues to do well.
Climbing up from Ofi Creek.jpgJust got off the phone after talking with Ernst Jinga. He said today they decided to push on to Menari as his trekkers were doing great and he decided that by doing this, they could walk up to Kagi tomorrow afternoon avoiding the heat of the day should they overnight at Efogi.
He said lots of mud around and quite a bit of traffic on the track in both directions. However, due to a smaller number of trekkers they are moving along quite well.
Earlier today they walked up Maguli Range and through the village of Naoro.

He mentioned it was quite slippery. Photographs below are of two aussies who entered our Kokoda Challenge race in 2012. Jonathan below shows the strain on his face after arriving in Kagi. In 2014 Jonathan finished in the top 5 in the North Face 100km race in the blue mountains.

Everyone continues to do well.
