Trek 1145: Trekkers spent last night at the foot of Mt Bellamy. Everyone continues to do well. Today they are making their way to Naduri Village for the night. Will continues to come up the rear but he is doing it at his own pace so good on him. Keep going guys almost at the half way point now. The weather was kind to them yesterday according to Clement their guide.

Trek 1145: As planned, trekkers are tucked up asleep in Naduri Village for the night. Tomorrow they will make their way to the half way point of Efogi, top up with food flown in earlier this week and then proceed to Menari Village for the night. They will also pass through Brigade Hill tomorrow, one of the most emotional areas of the Kokoda Trail. Clement said they pretty much have the track to themselves!

Update 9th May 2018

Trek 1145 continued their trek today and are now in Menari Village. Will is still toughing it out at the back but is doing just fine. Clement said the last of the team arrived in Menari around 5pm this afternoon. Tomorrow they will head to Nauro Village. A few showers today but not so wet it would seem.

Update 11th May 2018

Trek 1145: per above, this group are at Ua’Ule Creek and should reach Owers’ Cnr around midday tomorrow. I just spoke to Clement and he said trekkers are happy and looking forward to walking under the archway tomorrow.

Update 12th May 2018

Trek 1145: Congratulations to this group as they have just walked off the track at Owers’ Corner and shortly will make their way back into town. Well done guys and also to Clement their guide and our porters who walked alongside them. No doubt a few drinks will be had tonight as they celebrate their walk across the Kokoda Trail. Imagine them earlier today, crossing over Goldie River following by a last climb up to the archway!
