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

Incredibly kind support shown by Mr John Garlick, following his skydive to raise funds for Bolton MRT, and with thanks for assisting his wife Deborah in January 1996
In January 1996 we were involved in the rescue of Mrs Deborah Garlick at a very wintry and snowy Rivington, when she suffered spinal injuries in an unfortunate snow sledging accident.
Deborah thankfully went on to make a full recovery and was even featured alongside the team on Granada TV in 2004, when our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ was officially opened, thanking the team very publicly on regional television for her safe recovery.
Since her accident Deborah and her husband John, of Warrington, have become much appreciated and very valued friends and supporters of the team, making a great many kind and thoughtful number of donations and equipment purchases for us.
Every Christmas Deborah and John kindly send their grateful thanks to us and extend their Christmas and New Year best wishes to us.
Today our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE received in the post the following amazing letter from Mr John Garlick;
This incredibly amazing donation has come as a complete surprise to all of us in the team, and particularly those who are still in the team who remember Deborah’s rescue.
The entire team membership finds itself once again thanking John (and Deborah) for such wonderful continuing support, two friends of the team we truly appreciate.
We would also like to extend our gratitude to all of the following who made such kind donations to John Garlick for his fundraising skydive to raise funds for Bolton Mountain Rescue Team;
All have been so kind and generous in supporting John Garlick in this wonderful and very kind fundraising effort, towards the work of the Bolton Mountain rescue Team within the local community.
