SATURDAY 14th JUNE (0745hrs)
The team were contacted by North Yorkshire Police to assist with a search for a missing elderly person in Great Ayton area. All available members met at the base for deployment.
The first crewed Rover left as a “hasty” party to perform some rapid checks of areas close to the last known location of the person.
Not long after the second Rover left the base to their assigned area, the team were notified the person had been found. Both Rovers diverted to the find location.
On scene, it became apparent the person would require assistance to get to a safe point. The personnel held at the base were deployed to provide further assistance with the extrication. On completion of the extrication, the person was handed over to the ambulance service.
We wish the person a speedy recovery.
16 team members were involved for about 2.5 hours
Applications can be made to join the team in a support role (Operational Support) or as a hill going (Search and Rescue) member.
Applications for either role can be made at any time. Intakes for Operational Support members occur at various times of the year. There is one annual intake for Search and Rescue normally each September.

MEDICAL DEVELOPMENT DAY
On Saturday, 28th June, 5 members of the team attended a RRMT (Remote Rescue Medical Technician, aka Cas Carer) development day organised by Swaledale MRT.
Representatives from 21 mountain rescue teams, approx 70 personnel, attended the event, held close to Leyburn.
The day started with a "Show and Tell" session of what medical equipment is in a team vehicle.
This was followed by a round robin event with each team creating a medical scenario which was treated by another team and observed/commented on by a third team.
The day ended with a large scenario involving personnel from various teams, who had never worked together !!
Each scenario throughout the day was not simple, they had "developments" as the care progressed.
A big thank you to Swaledale MRT for organising a great event.
Impressive to see.... 😀
