This year marks the 160th year of the Brigade which support rescue and lifesaving efforts along the North East coast - and to celebrate they are taking to their bikes.
On Tuesday, May 26 members Tom Fennelly, Steven West, Steven Godwin, Brandon Evitt and Alan Tate-Clarkson will be taking on a 106-mile cycle from Berwick-Upon-Tweed to the group’s Watch House at the base of South Shields Pier.
A total of £678 has already been raised with all money being reinvested into the volunteer team’s efforts to save lives.
As part of their route, the team is intending to visit east coast rescue team along the Northumberland and North Tyneside coast in addition to RAF Boulmer near Alnwick.
