Sunday meet at The Black Swan, Ockham

Invitation from a far island

Fearon and Kayoko have very generously offered accomodation in their lodge, which is on the Shokothu River in Takinoue, to any Club member and to be a guide, whenever he is available, to this beautiful island of mountains, gorges and glorious, quiet driving roads.

This is a sincere offer from a far outpost of our coterie of enthusiasts and it would be wonderful to think that someone will accept their hospitality. Fearon says that their lodge is not 'fancy' - most of the rooms being traditional Tatami rooms but all look down to the river. The food is great, though!

If you would like to visit, please make your booking through the Club, so Fearon can be assured you are a bona fide member.

2010

One of our members, Fearon Anderson, lives in Hokkaido, the most northern island in Japan. He has sent us the most spectacular photographs of his XK in front of an incredible, shocking pink sea of flowers. In late May to early June, the hillside is covered with a carpet of shibazakura or phlox and The Pink Moss Festival celebrates this stunning scene covering some 10 hectares. Apparently this was started from just one orange box of seedlings in 1957. At this time of the year the Autumn colours are amazing, too.
