Back in August 2005 the team was called to assist a climber who had injured himself at Ousel Nest Quarry near Jumbles Reservoir. Iain Bissett went on to make a full recovery, and since then, Iains father, David Bissett, has supported the team over the years.
David recently gave a talk for the Rotary Club of Bolton and kindly chose Bolton Mountain Rescue as the benefactor of the £50 fee.
We would like to thank both David Bissett and the Rotary Club of Bolton for this kind donation.

The weather might not be great today but we are pleased all the same to launch our new water safety campaign to help prevent accidental drownings in Greater Manchester’s waterways 🌊 These incidents do tend to happen more so when it's hot, however, can happen at any time 😢 pic.twitter.com/XobCSQtBx3

As we enter further easing of restrictions this weekend the @NWAmbulance have enhanced their plans to ensure we can respond to the increase in demand we will face. Please be careful, and remember we are still dealing with COVID-19. #SaveLives
How many other countries have unarmed officers running towards knife wielding killers. British Police really are quite remarkable when you stop to think about that.
