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

Incident 82/2009
Late afternoon today at 16:51, GMP paged the team for assistance in a search for a missing 14 year old girl in the Lilford Park area of Leigh.
A team stand-by page at 16:54 was followed by a full callout page at 17:05, for all members to RVP at our Ladybridge Hall Base/HQ.
The young girl had gone missing in the park in the mid-afternoon and with darkness falling was giving police cause for concern.
Along with responding Police resources, at least 20 team members were en-route either direct or to our Base/HQ when the excellent news was received by our Team Leader via Greater Manchester Police, that at circa 17:25 a member of the public, walking their dog in Lilford Park had located the young girl safe & well. (The team’s response to this included mobilising our Aireshelta tents, our Catering trailer and Control trailer. Support Group members were also involved in our initial response).
Our Team Leader Garry Rhodes also liaised directly with SARDA Trail Dog Handler Iain Nicholson of Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team, requesting him and his Trail Dog Mij, alongside Iains wife, Alison and her Search Dog Floss, also of Bowland Pennine MRT. Both Iain and Alison were stood down with the news that the young girl had been found.
Lilford Park is a familiar location to the team for both searches and the occasional rescue.
