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

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

Another kind donation honouring Joan and Len Charles recent Golden Wedding Anniversary, this time from Mr Graham Schofield
On Sunday 2nd November 2014, we reported within the ‘News’ section of our website that Len and Joan Charles, long time supporters of the Team (since the late 1980s) and parents of very long serving team member Gillian Leigh (nee Charles), celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary.
Gillian their daughter had arranged a secret surprise for her parents in that they would be collected and driven to their celebratory meal in one of our Land Rover Mountain Rescue Ambulances.
Accordingly our President Bob Hutchinson and equally long serving team member Diane Blakeley arrived at Len and Joan’s home in Breightmet, Bolton in our Land Rover Mountain Rescue Ambulance Bolton Mobile 1, to collect them.
On Sunday 9th November 2014, we reported that our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE received a wonderful letter and a substantial donation via Gillian Leigh from her mum and dad, Joan and Len Charles, an extract reads;
Today we are very pleased to announce that via the Charities Aid Foundation, we have received a further kind donation to celebrate Len and Joan’s Golden Wedding Anniversary, this time from Mr Graham Schofield of Oare, Marlborough, Wiltshire.
Mr Graham Schofield has made a very thoughtful donation to the team in lieu of presents at Len and Joan’s wedding anniversary, of £59.36p, for which the entire team membership extends its sincere thanks.
