We have been to visit the Padstow Lifeboat Station. We were warmly welcomed by the mechanic of the lifeboat, Mike, who very kindly showed us around both the boat, and the building in which it is housed. We went inside the wheelhouse, and were amazed by the technology and technicality of what we saw. The children were very excited, and asked lots of questions!
We then were allowed to try on the helmets and life-jackets belonging to the crew, and also looked at lots of photos and models showing us the history of the Padstow Lifeboat. A highlight of the visit was travelling back up to the clifftop on the vernicular railway!!
