Home | The EWP Lundy Island meet | Lundy: more information

EWP are not aiming to make any profit from this programme - it is a service for our past and present clients - other like minded people are welcome. We do need to cover our administrative costs. We will make all accommodation bookings for you and will pay for the Landmark Trust Holiday Cancellation Scheme (see full details below). We require a 50% deposit to be made for your accommodation when booking.

Please specify any bedroom requests. We will allocate bedrooms / flats as requested but reserve the right to alter rooming arrangements unless you have paid in full. The balance for your booking is payable 8 weeks in advance.

Discuss your requests with us to find out about availability. All accommodation is self-catering. An EWP representative / mountain guide will be staying on the island during your stay. On receipt of your booking we will send information about sailings. It is your responsibility to buy your boat ticket.

In the event of cancellation EWP will refund:

  1. 50% of money paid 8 or more weeks before trip.
  2. 25% 6-8 weeks before the trip.
  3. Thereafter there will be no refund unless your place can be filled in which case it will be 25%.

    HOLIDAY CANCELLATION SCHEME

    INTRODUCTION
    All bookings must be covered by our Cancellation Scheme (unless you already have holiday insurance which you are satisfied gives you adequate cover, and you supply us with a copy of this). If you have to cancel for a reason covered by the Scheme, everything you have paid will be refunded to you, less a £30 administration charge and the premium. If you cancel for a reason not covered by the Scheme, a refund will only be made if the period you book is relet (see Booking Condition 18).

    COVER
    The policy covers the necessary and unavoidable cancellation of any booking as a direct result of any cause outside the control of the customer which occurs after the cover starts. The customer includes the person making the booking and all members of the party A proportionate payment will be made if a holiday already in progress has to be curtailed for a reason covered by the Scheme. Cover starts once you have confirmed your booking and made the required payment including the premium.

    WINTER WEATHER PROTECTION
    In addition, if you are prevented from reaching your Landmark by floods or drifting snow in the locality, refunds will be made on the following scale: bookings for four nights or less: One day's delay entitles you to a refund of one quarter of the price paid. Two or more days' delay entitles you to a refund of three quarters of the price paid. bookings for more than four nights: One day's delay entitles you to a refund of one quarter of the price paid for the first four nights. Two days' delay entitles you to a refund of half of the price paid for the first four nights. Three or more days' delay entitles you to a refund of three quarters of the price paid for the first four nights.

    EXCLUSIONS
    1. claims due to any circumstances of which the customer was aware when the booking was made. 2. claims which result directly or indirectly from travelling against the advice of a medical practitioner. 3. self-inflicted death, injury or sickness, or any consequence of intoxicating liquor or drugs (other than drugs prescribed by a medical practitioner). 4. claims arising from disinclination to travel. 5. claims arising from the financial circumstances of any member of the party except for redundancy which qualifies for payment under statute. 6. claims arising from the requirements of an employer, or in the case of a self-employed person, that the customer gives priority to the business. 7. part payments when one member of a party has to drop out but the others go ahead. 8. any consequence of war, invasion, rebellion, or insurrection. 9. losses arising from strikes or industrial action. 10. losses arising from delays or cancellation by any provider of transport in in the UK or abroad. 11. losses arising from unusual weather conditions, except as covered above. 12. the £30 administrative charge, and the Cancellation Scheme premium.
