We were called by the ambulance service to assist with a mountain biker who had crashed in the woods between Skelton and Saltburn.
The casualty, a 17 year old young lady from Cumbria, had apparently gone over the handle bars of her bike and ended up a few metres down a steep embankment.
We assisted the ambulance service in administrating first aid before using ropes and a mountain rescue stretcher to lift the casualty back unto the pathway and then carrying her 400m or so to the ambulance waiting by the nearest road.
The incident lasted nearly 2 hours and involved 16 of us.
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.
