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

Bolton MRT “Water Team” members attend our second Water Search and Training Day on the River Dee, Llangollen
Following previous training (Provided in-house and externally, including kindly by GMFRS) and to consolidate the previous Wednesday evening specific training events, early this morning five experienced team members met at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ to journey south to the River Dee at Llangollen, North Wales, to undertake the second of our Bankside First Responder training courses. (The first was held on Saturday 27th July 2013)
The five, consisted of John Fletcher (A qualified Whitewater Rescue Technician) Dave Marsh, Nick Berry, Ged Clarke and Matthew Hailwood.
This course had been developed by team member John Fletcher, assisted by Deputy Team Leader Geoff Seddon.
All five travelled to Llangollen in our Ford Transit Crewbus / Ambulance, BM5.
Under the tutelage and instruction of John Fletcher, the other four spent the day learning the techniques around self-rescue and safety on the water, when acting in support of Whitewater Rescue Technicians and Swiftwater Rescue Technicians during a water rescue incident.
At the end of the course all left having learned a great deal over this very long day which unfortunately did not have the same hot and sunny conditions which the members on the 27th July course enjoyed.
The team’s thanks are extended to Whitewater Active (and the local landowner Mike), for allowing the team to use the site throughout the day.
