Hi sarahwC4308TF, Thank you for your great review, and i'm happy to hear that you got a good go on our simulator!

Had a very good tour of the RLNI college. Michael the tour guide was very friendly and gave a good insight into the history of the RNLI and the training facilities. After the tour we had a very nice light lunch in the college bar. I highly recommend a visit.
