Payback time for mountain rescue

The Oldham team provided transport to Peel Tower with water and provisions

Oldham Mountain Rescue Team paid back East Lancashire Masonic Charity by helping out on their charity walk North of Bury. 

Along with Rossendale and Pendleton Mountain Rescue Team, the Oldham team provided transport to Peel Tower with water and provisions.

“It was great to be able to use one of the Land Rovers which the members of the Masonic charity helped to purchase ten years back,” said an OMRT spokesman.

"Let’s hope all had a great day out and there was not too many blisters.”
