AC Lundy Meet
From Saturday 07 August 2021
To Tuesday 10 August 2021
Contact Nathan Moore
Saturday 07 August 2021
This meet will be an excellent opportunity for those who have not yet visited the Island ofLundy, or for us who were denied the opportunity in 2020. It offers an abundance of some of the country's best sea cliff climbing in the most remote of locations, surrounded by seals and dolphins. These dates also miss the main bird ban season!
 
We will leave from Illfracombe on the morning of the 7th, and return early evening on the 10th, exact timings to be announced when the sailing timetable is set. We will be camping for the meets duration - bring extra pegs - it gets windy!
 
Total cost £132 (£56 for camping & £76 for the ferry). You will be responsible for your own meals, there is a very reasonable pub and restaurant on site and a convenience store.
 
Please submit your interest, you will be booking the ferry and camping individually, however, we will inform them we are a group when we have final numbers.
 
Have a look on: https://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/lundyisland/ for more information about logistics etc, I will also keep people updated with key points and advice when necessary.
