For those off-roading from Bretherdale Head over the Breasthigh road, one final challenge awaits, though at this water level, the ford would be the least of your worries. For walkers, stepping stones provide a dry way across, though one or two are a bit polished, so not entirely without risk. In higher water levels, when the beck becomes an option for kayakers, both methods of crossing would be hazardous, and a boat probably the best bet. Boaters do need to watch out for at least one livestock fence just hidden round a bend downstream - there's not much of an eddy !
