DAY 6 - MENARI TO NAURO

Monday 28 April

A half day of trekking today however, it was still a tough one! The trekkers made their way out of Menari for 20 minutes before crossing a small bridge and another 30 mins hike to a rest break. Then it was their first accent of the day up-to the Menari lookout where they could see the village in the distance they camped at last night. Then they trekked down the ridge for 45 minutes and refilled their water before they crossed the swamp on the way to Brown River for a refreshing swim. Then they trekked a short 15 minutes to Amaduri village for morning tea and then back into the swamp for 45 minutes in the increasing humidity to the base of the false peaks. They rested at the base of the peaks before continuing up the seemingly never-ending slopes of the Maguli Range to today’s camp at new Nauro Village. The trekkers arrived at camp early and are now enjoying an early end to the day, doing some washing and as always a few men having an afternoon nap.
