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

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

Developing liaison with Probationary ALSAR Team; Merseyside Lowland Search and Rescue Team
The Bolton MRT has established over the last ten years plus, a fantastic relationship with our colleague ALSAR team, which borders our southern boundary; Cheshire Search and Rescue Team, to the point now where we regularly joint train together and also mutually support each other on operational call outs.
The leaderships of both our teams enjoy a particularly close working relationship, and we also share training initiatives and opportunities.
Forming now on our western boundary, is the Merseyside Lowland Search and Rescue Team, currently a Probationary member of ALSAR, and under the tutelage of Cheshire SART.
Recently the Chairman of Merseyside LSART Matthew Davies, contacted our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE, to discuss how relationships could be developed between Merseyside LSART and Bolton MRT, to mirror that of Bolton MRT and Cheshire SART.
This has resulted in a series of telephone calls this week between Garry and Matthew, and we are now pleased to announce that on Sunday 19th April 2015, at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ, commencing at 09.30hrs, we’ll be a hosting a visit to us by members of Merseyside LSART, to gain an overview of Bolton MRT, which will include some mountain rescue awareness mini exercises.
Furthermore members of Merseyside LSART along with members of Cheshire SART will be joining us on the evening of Wednesday 6th May 2015 for an exercise in the Rivington area.
The Bolton MRT welcomes the new members of Merseyside LSART to the local north west volunteer search and rescue community, and we look forward to developing the same level of friendships and mutual aid with Merseyside LSART as we in Bolton MRT have and enjoy with our colleague Mountain Rescue and Search and Rescue Teams that border our primary operational area or that we otherwise engage with, which includes Bowland Pennine MRT, Rossendale and Pendle MRT, Oldham MRT, Kinder MRT, Glossop MRT, and Cheshire SART that border us, and amongst others, NEWSART, BaySART and Norfolk Lowland SART that we routinely engage with.
