Tuesday 11th August 2020. We were contacted by North Yorkshire Police to assist in a search for a man who was missing, possibly in the Carlton Bank area. Team members were called out to an RV-point at Lordstones Country Park where we liaised with the Police and agreed on a number of areas to be searched across a wide section of the moors. Over a period of hours a number of MR search parties and police officers searched the allocated areas.
Just after 10.30pm we received a report that the man had been found, so Team members attended to assess his medical condition. We are pleased to report that he was found safe and was receiving appropriate care. At that point we were able to return to the RV-point and then stand-down for the night.
Many thanks to Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team for assisting by sending search dogs Ollie & Cassie with their handlers and Teesdale and Weardale Search & Mountain Rescue Team with search dog Tarn & handler. 23 Cleveland Team members attended (plus one co-ordinating our response remotely) in addition to the three search dogs & handlers from the other Teams. The incident lasted approximately 6-hours plus a further couple of hours to pack up, return vehicles to our Base and decontaminate them (re COVID-19 precautions).
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.

CALL-OUT 50/2024
FRIDAY 15TH NOVEMBER 2024 (1801 HOURS)
Yesterday saw our 50th call-out deployment of the year. That’s in addition to 25 other incidents dealt with so far (such as casualties at safety cover events, incidents resolved by phone or where we were stood down before deploying etc).
For last night’s call-out, we were initially contacted by Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team and subsequently by North Yorkshire Police to advise us of a family in need of assistance whilst out walking on the Cleveland Way near to the Yorkshire Gliding Club. One of them was unwell and unable to continue their walk back to the carpark at White Horse bank.
Having spoken to one of family by phone to check on the casualty’s condition, we also identified their location using the mountain rescue SARCALL Phone Find system. A limited call-out of one Land Rover crew was arranged, whilst maintaining regular contact with the family. Once they had been located and assessed we transported them back to their car for their onward journey home.
Four Cleveland MRT members were involved for just under 2-hours plus return travel time back to Base. Twenty-one other members were on standby but not ultimately required.

Should have rang a taxi not the mountain rescue
Total respect!
