SATURDAY 16TH MARCH 2024
A man was taken ill whilst out walking with his family, shortly after passing a checkpoint on the Team’s Cleveland Survival event (which he was not involved with). Team members from the checkpoint just south of Ainthorpe village deployed immediately to help him, backed up by two Land Rover crews whilst we also requested the attendance of the Yorkshire Ambulance Service.
As Team members were treating the casualty for the original problem, which gradually improved, they assessed that he had also sustained a shoulder injury. After providing pain relief for that injury and updating YAS regarding his condition, arrangements were made for the family to be reunited with their vehicle and the casualty was advised to get checked at hospital.
Thirteen members were involved for 1.5-hours before returning to Event Control to help with packing up all of the equipment used during the Cleveland Survival and then returning it to Base, to be unpacked and all vehicles fully cleaned & refuelled the following morning.
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!
