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

Team present in Rivington area for Boxing Day
Each year the Holcombe Hunt has met in Rivington for its traditional Boxing Day Hunt, which now also attracts a great many other horse riders, their followers and members of the public, alongside the more usual visitors to the area.
The team has also traditionally maintained a public profile in the area on this day, with today being no different.
Two Team Land Rover Mountain Rescue Ambulances were out and about alongside our Incident Control Vehicle with a total of eight team call out list members aboard. (Two other team members were also out and about in the same area, in their own vehicles)
The early mornings frosty weather gave way to slightly milder conditions changing early afternoon to low cloud and light rain.
Whilst out we met with our GMFRS friend and organiser of the Greater Manchester Emergency Services 999 Day, Ben Levy, out enjoying a Boxing Day walk.
We also met up with former team Call Out list member (And former Team Training Officer) Andy Ryding, the Area United Utilities Ranger, who introduced our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE and Steve Fletcher to United Utilities Jumbles Ranger Jon Grimshaw.
With such a lot of visitors to the area we obviously drew a lot of attention and interest, with our day ending around circa 16.00hrs with some assistance to a Lancashire Constabulary patrol, by way of local knowledge, in locating an item reported to Police by a hill walker in the Hordern Stoops area, mid way on the moorland road between Rivington and Belmont.
