Time: 6:00am - 5:00pm Location: Whataroa, Westcoast Rivers: Whataroa River Level: 30 Cumecs Weather: Clear, Mild People: Tom Beadle, Matt Sparrow, Gat Eades Grade: 3 - 4 Comments: My very first fly in adventure. Leading up to this trip was exciting. The planning, the talks and the preparation were all contributing factors to this trip being one of the most amazing experiences I've had in my sport. After much researching about this river, planning the trip, assembling an equipment list and preparing ourselves mentally, we drove up early on a fine Tuesday morning. Meeting the chopper pilot at 8:30, we fly up the Whataroa valley into Barrowman flat. It was a tense feeling watching the heli leave us behind, knowing that we were on our own from then on. The entire trip went very smoothly without incident, only slightly numb fingers. I loved this river a lot and it was an awesome first fly in. We took many things away from this trip and our next adventure will hopefully be the Whitecombe river.
