Bank holidays may mean time off for many, but for our crew it can mean even more call outs. On Sunday alone, we attended 11 missions! Here's one of the many we attended, in @TheBoltonNews, all thanks to your support. A huge thank you to @BoltonMRT too! bit.ly/2GwNjqm

Huge thank you to everyone who donated or entered our competition today. We raised just over £540, which is just amazing! All mountain rescue teams are run by volunteers and all the money to keep our teams running has to be raised. We truly appreciate you supporting us. Thanks

At 18:35 Hrs a Full Team call out pager message was sent and our first member on scene arrived at 18:40 Hrs. He found the casualty being wheeled on an Ambulance chair to the waiting Ambulance, so the Team was stood down at 18:45 Hrs.
