i whent to lundy a few months ago in a 172.the first low pass made the sheep clear the runway,the second low pass was infact a landing attempt but the high cliffs on the approach made the glide path seem lower than it really was,hence the goaround.We got down fine on the third try.
Taking off however is another matter,the end of the s.w run is littered with rocks and some big ones at athat! the end of the n.e run ihas a five foot stone wall on it!The surface was boggy in places and long rush type grass was everywhere!
Still if i can do it then have a go,but no way in a PA28,not unless Lo-Presti has put a merlin in it!
Safe Flying.
