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 67/2013
Following a GMP Twitter alert, regarding a missing Atherton man, our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE made contact at 18.22hrs with the GMP Force Duty Officer and then a GMP Missing Person Search Manager.
The 80 years old man who had been missing since the morning of today, was last seen in the Leigh area, and with nightfall approaching, concern given his age and condition, was mounting.
Our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE was requested to attend GMP Leigh Police Station to meet with the responding GMP Missing Person Search Manager to formulate a search strategy and search plan.
At 18.49hrs the team was paged to standby status, with five team members assembling at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ in case of immediate need.
In the interim, details of the missing man were also paged out to all our members, given that some of our membership lives in the area where the man was missing from.
Two team members, Mike O’Brien and Louise Jorgensen, along with Louise’s husband Paul, a former long serving Bolton MRT member, changed their plan for a social bike ride in the same area as the missing man, to that of a search of local tracks and bridleways.
At circa 19.36 hrs with our Team Leader was informed that the missing man had been located in the vicinity of stables on Slag Lane, north of Lowton, and at 19.41hrs the team was stood down by pager.
