I was going to take the Chippy to Lundy last summer; I already had me doubts, and was finally talked out of it by someone who has been.
I don't mind the short rough strip, but to avoid a long over-water sector means a big detour south for us northerners with fuelling stops both ways - and the overwater bit is still considerable. Main consideration was that if anything went wrong (we were suffering some rough running and occasion 'missing' at the time as those who witnessed our departure from G-VFWE will testify) on Lundy there are NO facilities. Could be an expensive retrieve.
Still fancy it, though
