Day 4 was a tough day, covering only 7kms over 9 arduous hours. Garry and Sam slowly worked their way from Templeton's 1 to the porters' home village of Kagi.
The muddy conditions in the morning made the climb up to the highest point of the Kokoda Trail at Mt Bellamy exceedingly difficult, where obvious, safe footholds were scarce. The bond between Garry and his 19 year old personal porter Brian grew stronger as he continued to show a miraculous talent, like all porters, to appear with a steadying hand on the back just before a certain fall. On the other hand, Sambe, Sam's personal porter, seemed to be permanently tethered to the 'Fossil' all day.
After negotiating the tricky climb, perfect weather was waiting at the Kokoda and Kagi Gap, providing some stunning panoramic views.
Late in the day Sam, with the help of the locals, orchestrated a hilarious stretcher gag for Garry, before both being sung into the home village of the porters for a night of well-earned rest.
