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

Team members present on this years MREW Annual Party Leader in Mountain Rescue Course residential weekend
Starting this afternoon to prepare for a course commencement this evening, a small number of Bolton MRT members are involved either in the organisation and as instructors, or as participants in this years annual MREW Party Leaders Course fully residential training weekend.
The weekend is being held at Colymendy Centre for Outdoor Education, Loggerheads, near Mold, North Wales, and is being supported by NEWSAR, with financial support from MREW.
Team member and current MPSRO Training Officer Elaine Gilliland (a former Bolton MRT Training Officer) is an organiser this weekend, with colleague Bolton MRT experienced members Steve Nelson (our Trailing Search Dog Handler) Mike Marsh (a former MREW Party Leader Course organiser) and our Training Officer Alistair Greenough, all lending their support as Instructors / Mentors on the weekend.
Our webmaster Paul Brain is attending with his considerable IT knowledge and experience, to produce the ‘end of course’ DVD of the weekends proceedings (no pressure there then Paul!) whilst former Bolton MRT very experienced member is attending to provide a specific input on the course from his days when employed by the Home Office Forensic Science Service, as well as mentoring on the weekend.
Bolton MRT members Martin Banks, our Treasurer, and our Equipment Officer – Water David Cook are attending as ‘students’ to learn the ways of mountain rescue party leadership, alongside mountain rescue members from other Welsh and English MRTs.
A report on this weekend will be available soon within our website.
