This trek had a tough day walking up Maguli Range – through the village of Naoro and down to Agulogo for the night. Everyone continues to do well. Tonight they are sharing the campsite with another one of our treks walking in the opposite direction so no doubt some singing around the campfire would be on the agenda for the night. Tomorrow they are planning on heading to the half way point of Efogi.

My apology for not putting up more posts but our internet died and only this afternoon have we been able to get back online.
This trek has now reached Isurava Village and will walk off the track around midday tomorrow in Kokoda. They will be met and driven down to Pija Village for the night before flying back into Port Moresby tomorrow morning.
Rebekah it seems has some problem with her feet but is ok and will walk off the track proudly tomorrow along with her father, Garrett and Andrew.
