Ever fancied climbing the 8,848m to the Everest summit but don’t seem to ever get round to it? Then this may be your chance. Bolton Mountain Rescue Team invite you to help us climb the height of Everest by walking a length from Rivington Top Barn to Rivington Pike.
Our fun, family walk will start at Rivington Top Barn this Saturday, 12th May . You can sign up any time between 10am and 2pm. Once you are all signed in then you can follow our markers to the top of the Rivington Pike. On your return you will be presented with a very special certificate and have your photo taken for our Everest hall of fame.
It’s the teams 50th Anniversary and we need at least 50 people to reach the top of Everest so please sign up by liking our Facebook events page then come along and show your support.
Today, at the invitation of the organisers of Greenmount Village Party, one Support Group member, one operational team member and two trainees attended this event with our Mountain Rescue Minibus Ambulance on display.
With the road closed between The Miller & Carter and the Cricket Club, the main stalls took place this year on the closed road near Greenmount Cricket Club. All the attractions were attracting many young (and not so young!) villagers.
Our good friends and supporters, Neil & Helen Grundy known as the Holcombe Duo, were there mingling with the villagers and playing their Alphorns for donations to our Team.
Thanks to the generosity of the public attending the event, we received donations totalling £83.23 towards our work.
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.
