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

❓ 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

Phil, aged 54years old, and originally from South Wales has been a long term resident of Preston, (An Honorary Lancastrian!) and is a keen walker and former climber.
He is the Team Leader of over forty volunteers in the Bowland Pennine MRT, which covers the Bowland Fells and a large area stretching to the Cumbrian boundary, the Lancashire coast, and the West and South Pennines.
Today he journeyed to Buckingham Palace to receive his MBE for services to the Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team.
In the company of his wife Pam, and children Thomas and Olivia, Phil received his MBE from Her Majesty the Queen in todays Investiture Ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
The whole Bolton Mountain Rescue Team membership extends its fullest congratulations to Phil O’Brien MBE on his investiture today, and the honour of being recognised by the Queen for his contribution to mountain rescue in the Bowland Pennine MRT.
