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

Incident 68/2013
At 20.53hrs this evening, our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE was directly contacted by a GMP Missing Person Search Manager, regarding a missing 74 years old man in the Astley Bridge area of Bolton, in circumstances giving cause for concern.
At 21.31hrs following further discussions with GMP, and some initial pre planning, the team was paged for a full team call out, to assist a gathering Police search effort.
All members were requested to assemble at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ, with immediate effect, with a large number present by 22.00hrs.
The initial search plan was for five of our Team vehicles to join in with Police patrol vehicles, and search roads around the missing persons home address, and main roads out to Bury, Bolton, Darwen, Belmont and Horwich.
At this stage a helicopter from the National Police Air Service had also deployed, and had conducted a wide area search around the missing mans home.
We also deployed our specialist Mountain Rescue Trailing Dog ‘Boris,’ alongside a GMP General Purpose Dog Unit.
Working throughout the late evening and into the early hours of this very warm night, Bolton MRT and GMP resources carried out a comprehensive search of the area around the missing mans home address, concentrating on the valleys of the Astley and Eagley Brooks, and the Waters Meeting Leisure Complex area, as well as the local road network.
By 02.20hrs in the early morning of Monday 10th June, all ‘first phase’ search tasking’s had been completed, and Bolton MRT were stood down to resume at circa 10.00hrs whilst Police enquiries and search efforts to find the man continued, alongside public media appeals.
The following resources were deployed to this search operation;
Bolton MRT and GMP would like to thank the McDonalds 24 hour Restaurant at the junction of Blackburn Road and Waters Meeting Road, Astley Bridge, Bolton, for allowing us the use of their car park as a search control point and vehicle RVP for the duration of this search operation.
