As part of its 'Splashfest' event, charity RNLI created an outdoor obstacle course with a focus on water-themed challenges in London's Battersea Park. The focus on water at this event ties in with RNLI's Respect the Water campaign.

Other fun stations at the event included a photo booth, a surfing simulator and a zorbing pool.
