Earlier this morning Warren Pitt and his guide Shane Thomas walked off from Owers' Corner along with three of our porters, Clive Guvero; Tom Hango & Nelson Enoga.
Last night Warren and Shane spent the night at Sogeri as guests of Warren Bartlett's Sogeri Lodge. This morning they were picked up by Russell Eroro in my prado and driven out to the drop off point at Owers' Corner. Photographs below were taken at the Sogeri Monument area:

The road was good so it was not too much later when they arrived at Owers' Corner where preparation was in full speed to allow them to move off a short time later.

The guide on this trek is my son Shane Thomas who has just returned from a break with his two children on the Gold Coast last Monday.

Shane phoned in later this afternoon and said Warren has asked for a personal porter. He is doing ok but the heat is getting to him so felt he would be more comfortable with a porter carrying his pack. This is a sensible move as there is no point coming to png and not completing the track when with a little help from a local will allow you to achieve your dreams and finish.

Just spoke to Shane at 7am and he said they were just at the top of Maguli Range and were going to try and walk to the half way point of Efogi today.
Message from Warren - he said he is doing ok and will be home by Christmas!

Last night the the trekkers did not get to Efogi so they spent the night at Manari.
Today they are trying to reach 1900. Everyone is doing ok. |

The team reached Naduri Village yesterday and that is where they spent the night. Warren has a rash which may slow him down a little but all is still going according to plan at this stage.
They will be walking down this track sometime today.
