Sunday 22nd March saw our Team’s first Retired Team Members get-together at the Team Base. Around thirty retired members representing all decades of the Team joined a hand full of current Team Members for an enjoyable afternoon at the base. It was great to catch up with everyone and to listen to and recount stories and adventures from across the decades. The retired team members were also able to look at the base and vehicles which many of them had worked hard to acquire.
A big thank you to June Marsden for all her hard work and efforts in organising the event along with providing the cakes, biscuits, and refreshments. Hopefully, this will be the start of many more get-togethers in the future.
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.

Thursday 26 Mar (0900hrs)
Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) contacted the team to provide assistance with the evacuation of an ill person from a remote location near to Chop Gate.The team deployed both Land Rovers to Chop Gate along with other team members in their own vehicles. The first Land Rover headed directly to the location picking up the ambulance crew on route. The other Land Rover was used as a shuttle to transfer other members from Chop Gate to the remote residence.The person was treated by the paramedics and placed on the mountain rescue stretcher. The Land Rover at the house was stripped out to allow the stretcher to be loaded into the vehicle for the 1.2 mile transfer to the ambulance in Chop Gate. Once the person was transferred to the ambulance, the Land Rover returned to the remote residence to be re loaded with the equipment which had been removed.
Sadly, we were informed that the individual died that evening in hospital.The team pass on their sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person.
15 team members were involved for approximately 3 hours.
Thank you to the Buck Inn, Chop Gate for use of the car park as a RV point.
I recognise the property, and was a friend, so shocked and sad to read this 😞
