Padstow

Day 2 of the Cornwall tour, and this time its Padstow, or Padstow (St Merryn) as it says above the door.

Padstow shares its Coastguard Rescue Station with the local fire and rescue service.  There's a fire appliance stored behind the right hand doors, and a smaller fire truck behind the doors on the left. The Coastguard vehicle also lives on the left, behind the fire truck and exits the station from a set of doors at the back of the building and round the side.

I don't know a lot more about the team, but you can find out for yourself by reading their Facebook page here.  At the time of writing, their last call out was on Saturday, their 36th of the year, a medical emergency involving a young female.  On the same day, we notched up our century for the year with a boat washed ashore, closely followed by the 101st, some walkers at risk of being cut off by the tide.
