My name is Andrew Grey and I am the LOM at Little and Broad Haven Lifeboat Station. As a former Crew and Helm, I have been part of the RNLI for some 40 years.

As such I am undertaking a long open water swim 'ACROSS THE BAY' in St Brides Bay from Solva to Little Haven which is approximately 8 miles.

My intention is to take up the challenge at the end of August, early September depending on weather, sea conditions and tides.

Obviously, I wish to raise money for 2 charities close to my heart. These are the RNLI and The Mencap Gardens at Stackpole Pembrokeshire.
