THURSDAY 29TH JUNE 2023 (2005 HOURS)
Called by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service to a report of a young girl having sustained a leg injury after falling from a tree in the Osmotherley area. A Team Land Rover and several Team members were dispatched from various locations.
When the Land Rover crew arrived they were able to unlock the gates at the south end of Cod Beck Reservoir to then drive along the track on the dam wall. That allowed us to get very close to where the casualty was already being treated by the YAS crew, who had walked in from the roadside. They were then able to relocate their ambulance to that location and, once she had been checked over by a Team Doctor, we carried her on a scoop stretcher a very short distance to the nearby ambulance. We wish her well for a speedy recovery.
Seventeen Team members were involved for approximately 1.5-hours plus travel time back to homes and our Base.
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!
