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.

In May 2026, our group of drivers will once again take a deep breath, and point their unsuitable cars toward the Netherlands, where they will attend EMWalhalla; Europe's best show for unloved, unappreciated, awful and obscure cars.

Undeterred by the challenges of similar trips in 2024 and 2025, this year Team EMWalhalla will return in larger numbers, with an even bigger selection of weird, ropey, temperamental and uncomfortable cars which have all seen better days.

Compared to the daily sacrifices made by the volunteers of the RNLI, our long weekend of driving across Northern Europe shouldn't be too tricky, but we will definitely be getting sweaty and a bit tired.

Look out for updates as we go along, and do please offer your support. Anything you can spare, will be hugely appreciated by Team EMWalhalla, the RNLI and those who they have saved from danger.

Thank you.
