Thursday 28th September 1500hrs. We were alerted by YAS to help with a 68 year old Doncaster lady who had slipped and hurt her knee whilst hiking with a walking group.
We attended the incident, that was in the extreme south of our area, with our two landcover ambulances and nine personnel. The lady had fallen a mile or so from the village of Boltby. We managed to reach her by driving across the muddy farm tracks and assisted the ambulance personnel, who had walked there, in treating the lady before we transported her to the waiting ambulance at Boltby.
Nine team members were involved for around an hour.
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!
