 From Dawlish to Exmouth: RNLI's Six On Saddles fundraiser. On 20 January, six members of Exmouth's RNLI lifeboat volunteer crew raised more than £1,600 by cycling around the Exe estuary in full weather lifeboat kit. The money will go towards the cost of their new launch and recovery vehicle. It also helped to publicise RNLI's forthcoming SOS fundraising day (25 January).
