Sunday October 15th 18:00 hrs.
A 20 year old lady from Redcar had tripped over a tree root whilst on a walk up Roseberry Topping with her friend injuring her leg.
She was looked after at the incident site (three quarters of the way up Roseberry) by a passing physiotherapist who alerted the emergency services.
Due to the remote location the ambulance service asked for our assistance. Our initial RV was the carpark at Newton under Roseberry but after talking to the injured girls friend, who had come down to the carpark to guide us to her, we realised we could get near to the incident site by driving across the hillside from Aireyholme Farm.
One team member was volunteered to walk up to the incident site with the informants and first aid equipment in case the Landrovers were delayed.
Once the injured lady was reached her injuries were treated and she was taken in one of our team vehicles to the ambulance that was waiting at the farm.
The incident lasted two hours and involved 20 team members.
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!
