Following a request  from Yorkshire Ambulance Service to provide assistance for an injured mountain biker at Hood Hill near Kilburn. The team despatched both Land Rovers along with other team members in their own vehicles to car park at Hood Hill. From the RV, members either walked or were transported by the Rovers to the casualty site . At the site the injured person was provided with appropriate pain relief before being transferred to a vacuum mattress and then the rescue stretcher.

Once the casualty had been handed over to the ambulance crew, the vehicle returned to the casualty site to be reloaded with the equipment which had been removed..
