I’m taking on the Mayday Mile challenge to support RNLI volunteers

This May, I’m completing a mile-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea.

During summertime, more people flock to beaches and coastal towns to make the most of everything they have to offer – from glorious sunshine to adventurous watersports. And as temperatures rise, so do calls from people in trouble in the water.

By answering this Mayday call and giving a gift today, you can make a real, lifesaving difference. Your kindness will help give volunteers everything they need to launch to the rescue, and make sure they’re ready to face their busiest season.

Will you sponsor my RNLI Mayday Mile challenge and support the courageous crews?

Please help raise funds for the RNLI

Day 11 -Race the Fog

Saturday 11th May
Should have been Race the Waves in Bridlington. However the fog came down and it was not safe to race. There was no parking near so it was a long walk from The Lobster Pot. 

Day 10 - Post Office , Co-op and Litter Pick

Friday 10th May
After yesterday gallivanting in the sun , I really am a bit slow with headache today. So did chores in the village post outs, recycling, shopping and litter pick. 

Day 9 - Yesteryears Day Burton Fleming

Thursday 9th May
Didn't set the tracker as it would just show me going round and round a field. My brother showing off his MG to Pat from Flamborough RNLI.  Well over did it again....but what a lovely day. Sleep well tonight. 

Day 8 -Round Flamborough

Wednesday 8th May
Not feeling the best today so just a lap around Flamborough within easy reach of home. 

Day 7 and a Memorial Service.

Tuesday 7th May
To achieve my mile today I added a village walk to my attendance at a Memorial Service in the village. 
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the double fishing boat tragedy which occurred at Flamborough on the 7th May 1984. That fateful day the coble Carole Sandra and the charter launch North Wind III foundered close under the cliffs and 7 lives were lost. On Tuesday the 7th May a short commemorative service took place at Cameron Gardens at 10:00 followed by wreath laying at the memorial in Chapel Street. Wreaths were laid by representatives from Bridlington, Filey and Flamborough RNLI, HM Coastguard, Flamborough Parish Council, Flamborough School Council, Flamborough Fishermen's Memorial Group and the North Landing Fishermen, along with tributes from family of those lost. x

Bempton.

Monday 6th May
Not feeling too bad today. So been to RNLI coffee and fund raiser at Bempton. Then onto Bempton Cliffs for my walk. It was packed I walked half way back from the Cliffs before Richard managed to get the camper out and pick me up. X

Home Day

Sunday 5th May
Today has been an accumulation of little walks at home. But weak but will be better tomorrow. X

Isn't it handy that it is exactly 1/2 mile from the car park to the Chemo Unit at Scarborough Hospital. So by the time I was back to the car park and then walked in home, I have done 1 mile 1/4. Success day 1 done.
