A retired couple who are travelling across the country for charity visited their 208th destination today.

Retired builder James Richardson and his interior designer wife Belinda pulled up to Lyme Regis RNLI Lifeboat station today on their quest to visit every one of the RNLI's 238 lifeboat stations.

The couple started their marathon trip in London in August and are due to complete the clockwise journey around the whole of the British Isles and Ireland when they reach the Tower Lifeboat Station on the River Thames at the end of the month.

They are aiming to raise more than £56,000 for the RNLI, which is £238 per lifeboat station.

James and Belinda upon their arrival to Lyme Regis in their brand new Porsche met members of the volunteer crew.

James said: "We decided to do our RNLI-911 Challenge in retirement because over the years we have been incredibly impressed by the RNLI's dedication and selfless actions.

"It has been an incredible journey and we have met some amazing people."

James and Belinda received a letter from the private secretary to the Duke of Kent, Nicholas Marden, in which he said: "In his fifty years as president of the RNLI, the Duke of Kent has sought to visit every lifeboat station, but there are still a handful he has yet to get to. It looks as though you will beat him to it."
