Just a reminder about Lifeboat Day this Saturday 25th July
We will have lots of information for you to view as well as stories for you to take away and read.
Photos, Caps, Fleeces will be available to buy or order. Internet access will be available to view our sites and a nice model of a typical Fleetwood trawler that sailed to Iceland.
We hope to see you at the stall. Just look for the FMHT Banner.
Hello Everyone,
This evening the annual Midsummer Nights Walk to Wyre Light was held by the Fleetwood RNLI. The weather was perfect for the walkers not to hot and not to cold.
The turnout was superb with close to a thousand people walking the sands. Everyone seemed to enjoy the evening of wet muddy fun.
The RNLI also had a Hovercraft waiting at Wyre Light for us all to have a look around and allowed the younger children to climb aboard.
I would like to thank the Fleetwood Lifeboat crew who made this all possible.
You can view images of the evening here.
We also recorded two short video clips from the walk. Part 1, Part 2.
This four mile guided walk across the sands at low water, replaces last years Wreck Trek. The walk is on flat sand and there is a little wading through gullies – so old trainers are ideal. Bare feet are not recommended.
The walk is organised and escorted by the Lifeboat with the help of Her Majesty’s Coastguard
We will be assembling on the beach in behind the Marine Hall in Fleetwood from 18-30 hrs. Check-in will open at 18-45. The walk will start following the briefing at 19-00 hrs. The walk is free but may we please suggest that it is in aid of the Lifeboat – so any donations / purchases from the Lifeboat Shop stall will be gratefully received.
Children and dogs supervised by adults are welcome. We expect to be back at about 22-00 hrs.
Check-in can be speeded up by printing the following registration form and handing it in on the night
It is very important that all walkers CHECK IN beforehand and then SIGN OUT afterwards with the marshals.
This event is run by The Fleetwood Lifeboat.
