DAY 6: MENARI TO NAURO

Monday 14 July

A tough day of trekking today as the trekkers started their journey in the sun and hiked out of the village to the base of their first climb, they rested here. Then a 30-minute trek to the summit where they could se Menari behind them. Them they trekked on and up to the Nauro lookout where they could see the village they would camp at tonight. They then trekked across to & through the swamp, which was nice and dry on the way to Brown River for a rest and a well-earned swim as the weather was pretty hot toady. Then a short 15-minute trek to Amaduri village for morning tea, and then back into the swamp for 45 minutes to the base of the false peaks. They had a rest at the base of the peaks, before continuing up the seemingly never-ending slopes of the Maguli Range to camp at new Nauro Village. The Everyone a little tired today although they arrived into camp early at 1pm with positive attitudes & are now enjoying an early finish to the day. Some are having an afternoon nap, while others are doing some washing.
