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

Bolton MRT donates to our friends at Norfolk LSART our now surplus, decommissioned former Control Trailer
Following on from our website ‘News’ report dated Wednesday 29th May 2013, when we reported on the decommissioning of our Control Trailer, as a result of our bringing in to team service our newly purchased Incident Control Vehicle, this morning four members of Norfolk Lowland Search and Rescue Team journeyed north to collect this same trailer following our pre arranged offer to donate it to them, completely free of charge.
Arriving late morning at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ, after setting off from Norfolk at circa 07.00hrs this morning, were the following members of Norfolk Lowland Search and Rescue Team;
Team Chairman / Team Leader Paul Chamberlain, Search Technician and Driver Dan Harris, Swiftwater Rescue and Search Team Leader Paul Silverman, and Bike Team Leader / General Team Leader, BTAC First Aider Guy Farnbank.
They were met by our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE, Treasurer Martin Banks, Equipment Officer (IT and Communications) Steve Fletcher, and team members Mike Marsh and Paul Brain. (All present at our Base / HQ commissioning our new Incident Control Vehicle ready for team service, whilst their colleague team members were busy providing standby rescue cover for the Darwen Rotary Club – Darwen Tower Trudge)
Due to time limitations, regards their equally long journey back home, this time with their ‘new’ trailer, sadly the four could only stay a short time as our guests, but we squeezed in a tour of our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ, and our BM3 Land Rover Mountain Rescue Ambulance, plus of course a good look at our brand new Incident Control Vehicle.
With photographs taken, it was time to bid our former Control Trailer goodbye, for a new life with Norfolk Lowland Search and Rescue Team.
Besides the donation of this trailer, we also donated at the same time to Norfolk LSART, some emergency (blue) light bars, a quantity of scene lighting equipment, some first aid disposables, and a number of traffic cones.
Before leaving, Paul Chamberlain accepted an invitation from our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE for six members of Norfolk LSART to attend this years Joint Foundation Course in Mountain Rescue residential course weekend, on Friday evening 11th October to Sunday afternoon 13th October 2013.

As thanks for the donation today of our former Control Trailer and other sundry items we have donated to Norfolk LSART this year and last year, Paul Chamberlain has very kindly offered to lend his considerable expertise in water search and rescue to assist with our training in the same subject.
