* SAFETY NOTE: The water shoals very gradually on the approach to St Herbert’s and Rampsholme Islands, particularly on the southern aspect.  This means that you will most likely have to breast stroke and drag yourself on to the individual islands, but please take extreme care.  It would be easy to collide with an underwater rock (with obvious consequences) and the rocks are also very slippery and covered with algae, meaning it’s quite difficult to stand up, especially when you’re tired. The line to the north of the islands is longer, but potentially easier.
