Derek Adams, originally from Northampton but now living in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, started his expedition in June, 2022. He visited his 238th lifeboat station on Tuesday. He has so far raised more than £10,000 for the lifeboat charity, the RNLI, Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation. Lewis Lifeboat He met up with the lifeboat crew in Lerwick, Shetland, on the last day of his walk Mr Adams wanted to complete his extraordinary odyssey before he was 85, and he has achieved it at just 82, walking for a month each year. He said: "I have now visited every lifeboat station in England, Scotland and Wales on the mainland coastline so that's fantastic - 4,200 miles and smiling all the way." Asked if he felt as fit as a fiddle, he said: "I do actually, perhaps a very old one - a Stradivarius - my legs are superb." Derek Adams Mr Adams enjoyed meeting all kinds of people during his trek When he was younger, he often completed charity walks and other long journeys by sleeping out overnight. He now allows himself the luxury of a warm and dry hotel room and has been offered free accommodation by a well-known hotel chain. Derek Adams Derek Adams visited 238 lifeboats during his journey Derek Adams Derek Adams attended Sunday services at several different churches during the trek As a church-goer, he has attended services wherever he happened to be on a Sunday morning and is often asked to speak to the congregation. He said: "It's just wonderful because they haven't heard me before so most of them invite me to say a few words and then, about an hour later, they think 'well, that was interesting, wasn't it? I need a coffee!'" Derek Adams Derek Adams covered the English, Scottish and Welsh coastlines during the walk He found he needed a coffee on the last morning of his walk, and one of the "little angels" who have "popped up all over the place" during his journey came to the rescue with a cup. It turned out the angel's name was also Derek - "They're always kind people, these Dereks," mused Mr Adams. As well as raising money, he hopes his cheerful approach will inspire others: "Look after each other, smile a lot, it doesn't cost anything but it's very, very infectious."
