Tomorrow (Wednesday, July 3), they will visit Thornton-le-Dale and Flower of May Vintage Fairground Museum.
On Thursday (July 4) they will take part in a tractor run organised by Beacon Farm and local tractor drivers to Goathland and Ryedale Museum

Organisers said on their Just Giving page: “Too many people are still drowning.
“More than ever we need the RNLI’s help.
“As a charity, the RNLI depends on our donations so it can go on saving lives and keeping us and our loved ones safe.
“RNLI lifesavers are our lifeline.
“They’re the lifeboat crews who provide 24-hour search and rescue right around the UK and Ireland.
“The lifeguards keeping watch on 240 of the busiest beaches in the UK and Channel Islands and the RNLI safety teams and educators working tirelessly to stop people getting into trouble in the first place.”
