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
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 99/2013
At 14.05hrs this afternoon, the team was contacted by NWAS (Manchester) Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) Parkway, to assist with the report of an injured mountain biker in Philips Park, Prestwich, Manchester.
An NWAS Rapid Response Vehicle was already on scene, alongside a later arriving NWAS Emergency Ambulance, and the team was required to stretcher evacuate the casualty involved.
Our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE whilst present at the GMFRS Bolton North Community Fire Station Open Day answered the call, and with team members immediately on hand to respond at the Open Day, our Bolton Mobile 1 Land Rover quickly mobilised.
Our first team member, Life Vice President Alan James, arrived on scene at 14.35hrs at the RVP of the main visitor car park to the woodland trails area in Philips Park, Prestwich, closely followed by our first team vehicle on scene at 14.37hrs.
The injured mountain biker, a male aged 30 years old, from Salford, had fallen from his bike whilst riding the ‘Red Run,’ sustaining elbow and knee injuries, and was treated by the responding NWAS crews.
The following resources were involved in this incident response;
With 99x Incidents so far recorded this year, this call is our tenth specific Mountain Bike Incident of 2013, with mountain bike accidents accounting for 10% of all our call outs this year comparing to only two mountain bike accidents out of 118x total call outs in 2012!
