Latest official news :

"Derek Green, Island Manager said,

"We have taken the very difficult decision to postpone all visits to Lundy between Saturday 22 September and Thursday 4 October. Visitors and some staff have been affected by a stomach bug and this course of action will give us the time needed to sanitise every property, public building and the ship to ensure the infection is eradicated.

The infection is being managed as an outbreak of viral gastro-intestinal illness (Norwalk) but there is as yet no confirmed causative organism."

Used to call that food poisoning in the old days

We cook all our own now and only eat fish and chips out as a last resort or save up and go to Rick Stein, Ramsey, Raymond Blanc etc.
