It’s been an unusual summer in more ways than one way but hardest to bare has been the lack of opportunist day, and camping trips, to Lundy Island. The Motor Ship (MS) Oldenburg, that normally packs 267 people on board, is now limited to 90 due to social distancing restrictions and unless you have booked a stay on the island, you’ll be lucky to get a ticket. However a cancellation popped up and a few fellow Tibbettians were assembled for a last minute boat strike to see how the island had faired during the Covid crisis.
