To enter the harbour from the fairway marker follow a bearing of 205°T towards starboard lateral marker no. 3 which is south of the bar.
After No. 3 turn to starboard and follow a bearing of 260°T parallel to the bar towards no. 5 starboard and no. 6 port.
The channel then heads south towards the southwest end of Blakeney Point which is marked by a south cardinal marker.
It is recommended to keep EAST of the Hijordis wreck, isolated danger beacon to remain in the safer defined channel.
Do not attempt to cross the bar more than 2 hrs either side of HW.
Do not attempt to pass due north of the south cardinal marker at the southwest end of Blakeney Point.
This is subject to change if the sand bar at the harbour entrance moves. Future pilotage will be communicated as necessary and when AtoN are re positioned.
