Comments: It took an hour to climb the steep path leading to the half dozen or so communication towers at the top of Telegraph Mountain. The panoramic views of Olongapo and Familiar Peak made the effort worthwhile. Then keeping Mt Malasimbo slightly to our left we traveled for about six kilometres along a narrow winding path dodging burning bushes, sliding down a long dusty hill before arriving at the San Pablo Hills Resettlement Barrio on the road to Olongapo. It was then a forty minute fast walk on the highway to our transport in Tipo all the while keeping passing motorists amused at seeing a bunch of scruffy foreigners sweating their balls off in the hot afternoon sun.
