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 94/2013
At 14.52hrs we were contacted via SARCALL by GMP to provide our assistance with a developing search operation for a missing man in the Radcliffe area of Greater Manchester.
With ten team members immediately available at the time engaged in some rope work training in the vicinity of Cadshaw, alongside four Cheshire SART members co-training alongside us, a full team call out page for further members was made at 15.01hrs, prior to which our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE had received a full briefing from the GMP Force Duty Officer.
Assembling at circa 15.30hrs onwards at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ with other responding Bolton MRT team members, all necessary team equipment thought required for this search was prepared, including our SAR Boat, Catering Trailer and the mobilisation of our Support Group members to provide catering assistance.
Given the size of the potential search area (We have been on previous searches, rescues and exercises here) it was decided to call on further support from Cheshire SART and also from Rossendale and Pendle MRT.
By 17.21hrs after a period on hold by GMP whilst further information on the missing 48 years old male was obtained, all our assets left our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ for the Search RVP at Cams Lane / Sion Street, Radcliffe, alongside the River Irwell.
En route and near to the RVP with some members already at the RVP, news was received that the missing male had been located by a family member in a park on the outskirts of Radcliffe, and responding members were requested to ‘hold to’ until this could be confirmed by GMP, which it was at 17.40hrs.
A full team stand down from this incident was confirmed by GMP at 17.50hrs once it was established the male was safe and well.
The following resources deployed to this search incident ;
**Included within the Bolton MRT response was our Mountain Rescue Trailing Dog Handler Steve Nelson (a member of SARDA (Wales) ) and his specialist Mountain Rescue Trailing Dog Boris.
