SUNDAY 12TH MAY 2024
We were contacted before lunchtime by the North East Ambulance Service requesting our potential assistance in the Moorsholm area. Whilst a number of Team members deployed to our Base to prepare the Team vehicles for readiness, everyone else was put on standby.
Following discussions with NEAS and Cleveland Police it was decided that our attendance was no longer required so we left the matter in the capable hands of our emergency service colleagues.
Eight Team members were deployed to our Base with a total of twenty-two being involved, including those on standby. The deployment and primary standby phase lasted just under three-quarters of an hour, although it was 2.5-hours in total before our Call-out Officer was able to conclude the matter pending further discussions with NEAS.
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!
