Reach and Rescue are proud to sponsor the 999 rescue challenge In June of this year (2014). Ten operational team members of Watersafe UK Search & Rescue Team (WUKSART) will be attempting to circumnavigate the entire coastline of Britain in a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) to raise funds for both WUKSART and the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI). This unique challenge will be a great test to all involved as we aim to circumnavigate 1,999 miles of British coastline in just 9 days, 9 hours and 9 minutes.
The event will start at the RNLI Headquarters in Poole and in a clockwise direction, and will stop off at certain RNLI lifeboat stations situated at strategic points along the British coastline, with the event eventually finishing again at Poole.
