Liz Murray has worked for the RNLI as a volunteer, and arranged for the Dorset group the above outing.
Many Dorset residents are not aware that at their West Quay facility the RNLI both manufacture their famous lifeboats and train their crews there.
For those intrigued by this entirely self-funded charity (they receive no government funding), there is the opportunity for an LDWA behind the scenes tour of the RNLI facilities – a chance to see how the volunteer lifeboat crews and lifeguards are trained and even have a go in a lifeboat simulator!
Lunch: or snacks can be enjoyed in their Riggers’ Restaurant or Slipway Bar or, for the hardy, there are also outdoor terraces, all with wonderful views overlooking the second largest (and the shallowest!) natural harbour in the world.
Parking: is available nearby, including at ASDA (3 hours free) or in Hill Street Pay & Display.
