Our thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family following the sad news of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Many of our members were inspired to enjoy the outdoors through the DofE Award. The picture shows members meeting the Duke in 1979. pic.twitter.com/SSTC30CcPB
At 4.56pm yesterday we were requested by NWAS to assist with a 22yo male who had fallen at Tiger’s Clough. The team treated him with pain relief & placed a vacuum splint around the injured ankle, then stretchered him to the waiting ambulance.We wish him a speedy recovery. pic.twitter.com/ZEbrt4vaLT
1/2 From all of us at BMRT we would just like to thank every one of you that donated to us this weekend. It was a hard decision for us not to do our usual Easter meet and great around Rivington but for the safety of our team members, we decided against it. pic.twitter.com/xkNOo8equX
It's been a busy start to 2021 for the team. Three months in & we are already on our way to more callouts than we had last year. If you can support us in our work, please feel free to donate via boltonmrt.enthuse.com/#!/ #BoltonMRT #Volunteers #Donate #Rescues #BeenBusy pic.twitter.com/KhDxLT92N8
1/ Today is usually a busy and important day for the team. With so many people visiting the Rivington area in particular, we would usually have our displays set up around the area to help educate people about outdoor safety. pic.twitter.com/0iKNZaqWU1

❓ Did you know that moorland and wildfires can be started in a number of ways? Sadly, many are started deliberately, however, some can break out by people being careless with barbecues, campfires or not disposing of cigarettes properly 🔥 pic.twitter.com/WDHdEHFcXA

The weekend of 30th November/1st December, saw a unique gathering of ” senior ” ex and current team members in the North Lakes. Our 2nd in post Team Leader (TL 1969 – 1973), Derek Motorshead, was joined for a weekend of ” it was better then, youngsters today don’t know how easy it is “, by Geoff Sharp, who joined the team very early on in the late 1960’s, Geoff Seddon, our current deputy Leader, and TL 1973 – 1981, Bob Hutchinson, TL 1981 – 1983, Alan James, better known to all and sundry as “General”, a founder team member back in 1968, and a Team Vice President for Life, Ted Morgan and Ivor Makinson, both team members from the early 70’s through to the 80’s, and Linda Grundy and Margaret Huckins, both from the early 70’s membership of the team.
An honoured “guest” was present in the shape of Peter Durst, an interloper from Rossendale and Pendle MRT., (or Rossendale Fell Rescue Team as was known to the assembled gathering). Peter, an ex RFRT Team Leader and widely known for his SARDA activities, offered much help and advice to our team back in it’s early fledgling years.
Every one of these ex and current members are over 50, (well over in some cases), which is why the local MRT in the lakes, was asked to go to standby with wheelchairs and zimmer frames at the ready !!!! as these stalwarts went for a hill walk. (or was it just a gentle stroll around the town centre of Keswick ?)
And our ever youthfull current Team Leader Mr Rhodes…… well someone had to stay back and man the fort, besides which he was too young to be invited ! (and with only 21 1/2 years team service is still very much the “new boy” to this distinquished throng!).
Hints of making this an annual reunion depends entirely on rest home bed space availability at their next function venue!
of course this article is brought to you anon !!!!
