Sunny skies and seas of wellies at Largs RNLI Welly Walk

Future crew members of all ages took part in the walk which started at the Fishworks on the Prom, with the participants enjoying the Bank Holiday sunshine as they made their way along to the finish line at the lifeboat station.

The crowds of supporters were lucky to be joined by the RNLI’s very own Stormy Stan who joined in with the fun, stopping for high fives and selfies along the route.

Those who successfully completed the walk received a medal on arrival at the lifeboat station and an icecream from the Beachcombers, who kindly donated an icecream to everyone who took part in the event. Our thanks once again to Tiffany for supporting this event, the ice creams were very much enjoyed by everyone on such a beautiful day.

Largs RNLI would like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part in this event and of course to our wonderful Fundraising Team for organising it.

As a charity we rely on fundraising and donations to allow us to continue to save lives at sea.
