Train: Hanno Station Departure – 9:43 (Seibu Chichibu line train going towards Seibu Chichibu) – Shomaru Station Arrival – 10:18
The train is infrequent and we won’t be able to wait for the next train. Please make sure to arrive at the appointed time since we won’t be able to attend to latecomers.

We will have a 4 hour hike on this course with nice views and beautiful forests. There’s also a place where we scale a rock wall with a gentle incline (not dangerous using a chain).
Bring your food and drink and wear shoes appropriate for hiking.

MORNING SESSION (optional)
As I will be on the river in the morning doing some scouting and precleaning, people, who may not be free in the afternoon, are welcome to join me at that time. Please go directly to the river as well as call James (the organizer) (090-1847-5075) to coordinate a meeting place.
INFO:
If you come late, it will be about a 25-min walk to our location on the river at the waterline between the Shinjuku Line train bridge and the Kasaibashi Bridge. Also call James cell phone 090-1847-5075 if there are any problems finding us.
RAIN:
In the event of light or medium rain this event will NOT be cancelled as we will use rain ware and take cover as necessary. In the event of heavy rain/strong winds (e.g., typhoon conditions) or lightning then the event will be cancelled or stopped if already in progress. Let’s have fun enjoying our local nature while making it better at the same time.
