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

Followers of our website will know that former and very successful Bolton MRT Mountain Rescue Air Scenting Dog Handler, who operated for many years with Chi, started training a few years back now with Sasha, to become a Mountain Rescue Drowned Victim Search Dog Handler (DVSD Team with Sasha – who does all the hard work!)
We are extremely pleased to announce that as of today, Dave has been assessed in Northern Ireland by SARDA Ireland North, and has now been graded as a working DVSD Dog Handler with Sasha being graded as a working DVSD Search Dog.
This now means that Dave and Sasha can operate on operational incidents, throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland.
This is fantastic news for Dave and Sasha,his family who have been incredibly supportive, and the vast number of people who have assisted Dave and Sasha over the years reach this fantastic achievement.
From all your team mates at Bolton MRT Dave, please accept our heartfelt congratulations, well done.
This now means the Bolton MRT can now field operationally a mountain Rescue Drowned Victim Search Dog Team (Handler Dave and Dog Sasha, both of SARDA Ireland North) and a Mountain Rescue Trailing Search Dog Team (Handler Steve Nelson, Navigator Elaine Gilliland, Dog Boris, all of SARDA Wales)
