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

Visit to Parbold Young Farmers
This evening callout list member Mark Scott headed to Charity Farm near Parbold where the Parbold Young Farmers were having their weekly meeting. Mark had been invited by the group to give an illustrated lecture on the work of the team. The invitation followed the rescue by the team of one of the group, Abbi, who was injured in a long tumbling fall on the steep northern slopes of Winter Hill recently (see incident 78/2015 on Sunday 18th October 2015). Another member of the group, Eddie, was with her at the time and was very supportive of his unfortunate friend while the rescue was under way. Mark had been first on scene at this incident so the group particularly wanted him to visit and give the talk.
Mark spoke for an hour to an audience of about 25 and showed photos and videos illustrating the work of the team and recent incidents, with particular emphasis on casualty care in mountain rescue and helicopter rescue. A Sikorsky S92 Coastguard Search and Rescue helicopter, call sign Rescue 936 from HMCG SAR Base at Caernarvon, travelled to the incident involving Abbi and had winched her aboard on a mountain rescue stretcher prepared by the Team, to be taken swiftly to Aintree University Hospital Liverpool.
The talk generated much interest from the group who then responded with a much-appreciated vote of thanks.
Mark would like to thank the Parbold Young Farmers group for their welcome and hospitality and he was especially pleased to see Abbi had made a good recovery.
