Padstow Lifeboat Station... - a photo on Flickriver

            If you look carefully there is a man sitting on the bottom of the slipway...I only noticed when processing the shot. Maybe a crew member - he didn't look in need of a Lifeboat but so many people do. I pay tribute to Lifeboat crews everywhere... 

Padstow Lifeboat Station is located on the east side of Trevose Head, to the west of the Cornish town of Padstow.  This RNLI station and slipway was completed in 2006.  It was purpose built for their then newest vessel, ‘The Spirit of Padstow’.  JGP has carried out stability inspections of the cliff, as well as inspections of the stations piled supporting structure.

The station was constructed at the base of Upper Devonian Slate cliffs (Trevose Slate Formation).  Immediately south of the station are the ‘Merope Rocks’, a rocky promontory comprising a Dolerite intrusion. These rocky outcrops provide the station with a degree of protection from the sea.  However, the lifeboat station is subject to considerable wave energy dissipated by the beach beneath.
