IAN Gardiner and Ian Wilson, stopped off at Bude RNLI recently, on their mission to travel 7,000 miles and visit all 172 UK mainland RNLI stations in just one month.

The pair are travelling in a vehicle emblazoned with the RNLI logo like a lifeboat.

Ian Gardiner said "The RNLI is one of the many organisations which makes Britain great, we want to raise money in order to support the organisation but also raise awareness of the incredible work they do on a daily basis often in extraordinary circumstances."
