One man and his dog have landed in Bude on their epic 8,000 mile hike around the UK Coast and it’s islands to raise money for RNLI.

Tim Jones and his best friend 22 month old staffy/boxer cross Monty are aiming to raise £500,000 for the RNLI. 

Tim has spent a large part of his life living on the coast and was a keen follower of the RNLI and admirer of the work they do.  Walking the coastline, where everyone is already invested in the RNLI was just the perfect combination for Tim and his fundraising plan. 

On their journey they have stopped off in Bude to meet the RNLI team and have been delighted with the warm welcome the received.

Tim told the Post: "Monty and I arrived at RNLI Bude yesterday for a quick meet with some of the lads and to get warm and dry after being soaked through. My accommodation for both nights of my stay in Bude is provided by Debs Holloway. Big thank you to her for putting up with us!"
