Charity bike riders drop in at Burnham RNLI station during round-Britain trip

Two motorcycle enthusiasts who are cycling around Britain’s coastline visiting as many lifeboat stations as possible dropped in at Burnham-On-Sea this week.

Chris Archer and Martin Hale had covered 3,500 miles on their BMW F650S machines, with 1,000 miles to go when they called in at Burnham-On-Sea's station for a sandwich and a cup of tea.

Martin said: "We have been overwhelmed by the hospitality and generosity of both the RNLI volunteers and the general public whom we have met along the way."

The pair left Calshot RNLI station on May 12th and are travelling anti-clockwise around Britain.

The trip has been funded by corporate sponsorship, but members of the public that wish to find out further information can access a private fundraising Web page here.

Ricky Holmes (RNLI tractor driver) and Martin Cox (Lifeboat Operations Manager) are shown standing with Martin Hale and Chris Archer in front of Burnham RNLI's Staines Whitfield lifeboat.
