Today the team received a very kind letter of thanks from Chief Superintendant Steven Hartley, Bolton Divisional Commander, in relation to our major involvement in incident 93/2009, at High Rid reservior (when following a search, we sadly recovered the body of a missing dog walker from underneath the water of the ice covered reservoir)

Chief Superintendant Steven Hartley states in his letter, “I would like to pass on my personal thanks and that also of Greater Manchester Police in relation to the missing person search your team conducted on the 21st December 2009.”

“The Bolton Mountain Rescue team, in hazardous weather conditions, provided a professional and well organised search of the High Rid area and reservoir. Once again please pass on my appreciation that you and your volunteers do all year round.”

Enclosed with this letter is a very kind donation of £100 from Greater Manchester Police.
