The first day was a short day for these trekkers as they pulled up at Goodwater for the night. Tony reported they were happy and doing great and that today they plan was to head to Ofi Creek for tonight.

Earlier today like trekkers before them, they walked through Ioribaiwa Village before heading down to Ofi Creek.

Trekkers had a big day today. They commenced at Ofi Creek, walked up Maguli Range, through the village of Naoro then down to Menari for the night. Tomorrow they will have another tough day as they walk up Brigade Hill, through Efogi before heading to Kagi to spend the night.

According to Tony, trekkers are enjoying themselves as they walk the track with our KTL boys. He mentioned the track is dryer than the last time he walked so the mud must be drying up. All trekkers continue to do well.
