In Tenby, they had a ‘fantastic’ tour of the Tamar-class lifeboat from coxswain Lisa Viggers, said Henry’s dad, Hugh.
He added: “It was fascinating to see below deck and get to learn a bit more about how everything is designed to work in all conditions.”
Henry said: “It was a really interesting tour about the boat’s engines, life rafts and the crew’s jobs.”
Tenby Lifeboats RNLI said: “What an amazing challenge – thanks Henry.”
The 100km ride will take place on Saturday September 13, weather permitting,
Hugh will be riding alongside Henry and they hope to complete their 100km journey in around six hours, with stops for snacks and support provided by mum Kerry and sister Olive.
