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

Team Presence at Darwen Gala
Blessed with good weather, Darwen Gala & Fell Races were held this afternoon, with the Team and Support Group turning out in force to support both events. Fourteen operational team members provided stand by rescue cover for the Fell Races, fortunately with no serious incidents to attend to, except for a young competitor suffering a nose bleed at the end of the race, who was provided with care by team members. There were 111 competitors in the main race of the afternoon.
Meanwhile on the Gala Field, with our team mini-bus on display amongst the many stalls and attractions, eight of our Support Group members held a second-hand bookstall and cake stall. Team member Steve Nelson was also present with our trainee search dog, Boris, and thanks to the generosity of the many visitors and their families at the Gala, donations totalling £98.87 were received, including a donation from grateful family members of the fell race competitor who suffered the nose bleed. A further £50 donated by the Darwen Gala Committee for our presence at the Gala and Fell Races brought the total to £148.87. Many thanks to the Support Group and team members who baked delicious cakes for the stall.
