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

Some of our team are based at Rivington Top Barn. We are on duty for the traditional Good Friday walk up Rivington Pike. It’s getting very busy even if a little damp. We are teaching some of our young visitors CPR. pic.twitter.com/v5Kuq2prFx
Sad incident at Tockholes Plantations, Darwen on Sunday 25th March involving @BoltonMRT @NWAmbulance and @NWAirAmbulance - facebook.com/BoltonMRT/post…
May 25 2009
Incident 38/2009
At circa 12 noon today the team was contacted by NWAS (Lancashire) for possible assistance with the reports of a man collapsed on a path adjacent to the Rivington Reservoirs.
The North West Air Ambulance Helimed 08 and NWAS (Lancashire) resources had already been despatched, so a very limited team response was made by two team members, Geoff Seddon our Deputy Leader, and Mike Marsh, who live in the immediate area.
It was quickly established by all the responding emergency assets that the 68 year old male walker, out with a group of like minded friends, had suffered minor injuries as a result of a fall after possibly fainting.
Our Deputy Leader Geoff Seddon was able to access the casualty site directly in his four wheel drive vehicle, and was able to transport the casualty to the waiting nearby NWAS Emergency Ambulance for transfer to Chorley Hospital.
This incident was concluded by all involved at 13.11hrs.
NWAA Helimed 08 attended, alongside an NWAS (Lancashire) Rapid Response Vehicle and an NWAS (Lancashire) Emergency Ambulance, plus our two team members.
