Scolt Head Island Traverse 10a: Approaching Norton Creek from the north

This crossing is the most difficult part of the traverse. Although there is less of a current here than there is at the Burn River, the depth and breadth of the water and the amount of mud and soft sand makes this the bigger challenge, even at low tide.

Please note: The crossing of Scolt Head Island from end to end is perfectly possible but only with careful planning and a knowledge of the tides. Do not attempt the crossing unless you are fit and know when it is low tide in the area. Cross on a falling tide and be prepared for deep mud in places at the western end.
