David,
I left Lundy off as I couldn't personally recommend it; I've not been there.
In addition to the two crashes there were also some near misses. Personally
I don't like the risks involved (including the long sea crossing, twice in a
day!), but accept that others have different priorities.
Rgds.,
Duncan.
