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

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

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 56/2012
At 21.49hrs late this evening, our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE was contacted directly by a GMP Divisional Police Sergeant, requesting the team’s specialist services for a body recovery operation at Cox Green Quarry, Egerton, Bolton.
Earlier the body of a male had been discovered by youths who had noticed it in undergrowth at the bottom of a vertical sixty foot drop, from their position at the top of the quarry.
Police were notified and due to the location of the body, in dense undergrowth and amidst rock boulders, required the team to evacuate the body.
A full team pager call out was initiated at 22.04hrs, with most members initially meeting at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ.
Team members assemble at the Cox Green Road RVP
All five of our team vehicles responded, as specialist lighting equipment was required from each of the vehicles (our six PELI Scene Lighting Units) to fully illuminate the scene for safe working and given the circumstances of the recovery operation.
Most responding team members were on scene by 23.10hrs, with the difficult recovery operation commencing shortly thereafter.
The recovery operation begins from the base of the quarry
By 00.40hrs in the early morning of Saturday 11th August, the stretcher evacuation of the man’s body had been completed back to the roadhead RVP at Cox Green Road, Egerton, jointly by Bolton MRT team members and the two on scene GMP Police Officers.
Here Police and the team awaited the 01.10hrs arrival of the Undertakers, with the body subsequently being taken to Royal Bolton Hospital.
Team members carry the male’s body out of the quarry and back to the road
By 02.00hrs all team members were back at their home locations.
Police officers await the arrival of the Undertaker’s ambulance.
