DESCRIPTION:A warm up for the Mt Wilhelm walk or do instead. Retrace my 
 summit walk from 1982 and 2018. In a small group trek through tropical m
 ossy forests, alpine grasslands and past moraine lakes to craggy peaks. 
 We will have a guide but to keep costs down we will be self contained bu
 t have no porters. We leave from Sydney by air to Mt Hagen on the first 
 day and drive to a basic lodge at about 2200m. We start trekking proper 
 on the second day by the less well known western approach , spend two ni
 ghts camping (in our own tents) We take a gradual ascent over two days, 
 remote camping on the way so we can acclimatise easily before summiting.
  If the weather is clear we will have a magnificent view over PNG. On th
 e descent along the better known North side we follow a long spectacular
  ridge which can be exposed. We camp in a small cave before descending a
 nd driving back to Mt Hagen. From here you an return to Sydney or join t
 he Mt Wilhelm bushwalk. The Highlands of PNG experience rain throughout 
 the year and it is possible to climb Mount Giluwe at any time throughout
  the year, however it is typically dryer at this time of year. The only 
 malaria risk will be transiting through Port Moresby. It is possible to 
 travel by air in 6 hours from Sydney all the way to Mt Hagen enabling a 
 Sydney to Sydney trip of just 6 days. . Costs will be shared basis. This
  is NOT a commercial trip.
