First Hike - Kuta

Destination: Mt Kuta
Closest town: Mt Hagen
Accommodation:Nil
Cost: Nil
Difficulty: Fairly easy, some fitness required.

After moving to Mt Hagen to be Principal of Highlands Christian Grammar.  I was keen to do some mountain climbing.  My first hike in PNG was up Kuta and over to a coffee plantation, Korgua, owned by one of the parents from school, Bryan Leahy.  His Dad is famous in the Highlands as a pioneer in the area. Bryan gave us a few history lessons along the way.  Most interesting.  Check out coffee from Bryan's plantations. Swing coffee, Soltura Coffee, FiddleHeads Coffee.

It was a clear day with some good views.

I've done variations of this hike since. Up the mountain and down again.  Up and down the back way past Holy Trinity Teacher's College.  Even attempted to run up, ONCE.
