Anyone been to Lundy?

At last...have aircraft, will travel. My regular partner-in-crime for committing aviation has always wanted to land on Lundy, and so have I. She has lots of experience on short fields, but we wondered just what it would be like there for a C150. The flight guides say "for experienced pilots only". Well, that's OK, but someone said it's 200 metres, not the 400 stated in the flight guides. Is this true? And it's said to be convex - but how convex?!!! And this rock flush with the surface that's mentioned - how big is it; is it a problem; can you see it?

Has anyone been in there who can actually tell us what it's like?
