THURSDAY 8TH JUNE 2023 (1226 HOURS)
Our fourth call-out the week! Requested by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service to support one of their crews en route to a report of a woman with a lower leg injury after a fall on land approximately 2-miles south-west of Glaisdale village. A Yorkshire Air Ambulance helicopter was also on the way.
Two Team Land Rovers with six personnel onboard were sent from our Base and, as usual, other members made their own way there. After assessment and treatment by the YAS and YAA crews the casualty was loaded onto an ambulance scoop-stretcher and carried by Team members for approximately 100-metres up a grass slope to a waiting land ambulance for onward treatment at hospital. We wish her well for her recovery. Seventeen members were involved, although some were stood down before they arrived, as there were sufficient numbers on scene. The incident lasted for approximately 1.5-hours plus return travel time back to Base, homes and work.
No photos of the Team in action but here’s a couple of ambulance and helicopter shots instead!
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!
