TUESDAY 6TH JUNE 2023 (1722 HOURS)
This was our third call-out in the space of two-days. We received a request from the North East Ambulance Service to help a woman who had fallen and injured her right leg whilst walking on Eston Hills not far from Flatts Lane, Middlesbrough. Two Team Land Rovers with five personnel onboard were sent from our Base, with other members making their own way to an RV-point just off Flatts Lane.
From there they headed off walking to locate the casualty, soon meeting up with a family member who directed them to the scene. Once assessed she was provided with pain relief and her leg was splinted before she was then secured within a vacuum mattress and part-carried, part-sledged on a mountain rescue stretcher down some difficult terrain for about 650-metres to the RV-point. She was then transferred to an ambulance for onward treatment in hospital and we wish her well for her recovery. Seventeen members were involved in the incident which lasted for just over two-hours.
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!
