TUESDAY 17TH JANUARY 2023
A very brief call-out for our first one of the year, lasting only 20-minutes. We were contacted in the afternoon by North Yorkshire Police to go the aid of two ladies who were stranded at Hob Hole near Castleton. They were unable to make progress in their car due to the icy conditions. One of our Team members (who was not far away) started to make his way to their location and two others drove to our Base to collect a Land Rover.
However, they were soon stood-down after our call-out officer contacted one of the ladies. Fortunately, they were both safe and well having been helped by three gentlemen passing by, who used their Land Rover to move them clear, thereby allowing them to head home. Four Team members were involved (with others on standby).
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!
