Two Dash Hit the Whitcomb!

After many hours of editing and lots of computer troubles the video from our Whitcomb fly in trip is finally done. Words, videos and photos don't do this amazing place justice... you really have to go there and check it out for yourself :)

Slaty Creek

After some hot tips from Keith Reily and a rather brief look on a map at the Greymouth info Centre we headed towards the paparoas in search of new water.

Toaroha

With over 30 descents of the Lower Toaroha it seemed wrong that Two Dash crew hadn't explored further up the valley and with whispers of a waterfall, We did what all great kayakers had done before we walked. 

Martijn wondering if this waterfall actually exists while Phil eagerly paddles up stream.

10am at the take out we loaded our boats on and started the walk. A casual pace saw time fly by and still no sign of the waterfall.Many sightings of the local blue duck family was also a big distraction. So the waterfall continued to be elusive until we hit a gorged out section of river, and half way through our challenging portage, we spotted it. we couldn't quite get a full view of it but the clouds of spray billowing out around the corner suggested some sort of gradient.

 A big day out on the river lots of sick lines and a cracked boat it was defiantly time for hoki fish and chips!!

Arahura Goodness

After a big night of food fights and general o- wrecking up at Red Roof it was time for us to get our sorry self out of bed and on the river. With a quick pie stop at do duck, The Crew! of 15 headed for the sun and white water of the Arahura.The Plan was for the Two Dash crew and Majtain to head up for little more action and drop in to cess pool and meet the rest of the crew below. But after my finger meet the boot of Phil's car i decided to opted to take photos and let the boys go fire it up.

With our tummy's rumbling and beer o'clock looming it was time to get off the river and head to hoki for fish and chips and beer.
