The places mentioned sounds familiar to me as I was able to visit these places during a Lakbay Norte 3 Tour last January 2012.

Without further ado, I just want to share 10 photos I took during my visit at the race venue. Aboard 4 x 4 jeeps we are juggled while clinging on the vehicle’s frames at the back. How much more if we run this on foot?

One word: EPIC!

Look at that stream crossing. The venue is also a haven of our Aetas brethren

Look at the dust from the Pinatubo ashes. You should bring something to cover up
