Hi Timons
Hope this message finds you well.
I am a Malaysian based in Kuala Lumpur.
Baguio City is our second home.
I am a hiker of moderate level.
I have hiked in Camp John Hay -Yellow Trail.
I wonder if you could introduce me to a group who does regular hike at CJH.
It’s more fun to hike with friends.
Appreciate your help on this.
Me and my wife will arrive in Baguio end December.
Look forward to hearing from you.
