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

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 71/2013
At 21:20 this evening, we were paged by NWAS (Manchester) EOC Parkway, to respond to an incident very near to our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ in the Ladybridge, Heaton area of Bolton.
The response was to the report, received via Greater Manchester Police, of a male having fallen some thirty feet, and now thought to be lying in a ditch in an inaccessible area, possibly surrounded and injured by debris which had fallen from a building. The police had initially asked NWAS (Manchester) to attend, and in turn the police had also contacted Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service in respect of the possibly damaged building.
With our first members arriving on scene, alongside the very quick response of our BM4 Mountain Rescue Land Rover Ambulance vehicle accompanying a Rapid Response Vehicle and an Emergency Ambulance from NWAS (Manchester) at the roadside RVP on Chorley New Road. It was quickly established that the injured male had managed to extricate himself and so the decision was taken to stand down further responding Mountain Rescue resources, at the same time as the arrival of the responding GMFRS vehicles from Bolton Central and Horwich Fire Stations.
Also stood down responding was the NWAS HART team from Merseyside. In total 21 Bolton MRT members responded to this incident; five team members and one team vehicle had arrived at the RVP at the time of the stand-down message, which was sent at 21:32.
