Some members were present at the base attending a meeting, they went in the first Land Rover to Flatts Lane. The second Rover followed along with other members in their vehicles heading to the RV. Those in the first Rover assisted the paramedics to extract the casualty to the ambulance. The team were stood down with a number en route to the park.
We wish the casualty a speedy recovery

During the last weekend there were no call outs for the team but we were busy.
On Saturday, team members from Support and Operational groups attended the Scarecrow Trail event at Wynyard. The team were the nominated charity for the event.
A great day was had by the team.
Sunday was the Viking Chase fell race at Lordstones. The team organises the event and provides the marshall cover on the route between Carlton Bank and Clay Bank. The good weather attracted a field of 138 runners. After 15 years as the event organiser, this was Sid’s last.
The weekend was also the Swiftwater Rescue Technician course taking place at Swaledale and Pinkston, Glasgow. Congratulations to Paul O’C on passing the challenging course.
