THURSDAY 16TH MAY 2024 (0813 HOURS)
We were called out by North Yorkshire Police to a report of a potentially unwell and disoriented person on the North York Moors near Snilesworth Moor. Although at that time of the day a good number of our volunteer Team members were already at or on their way to work etc, we still managed a decent turn-out to an RV-point at Square Corner, near Osmotherley. On arrival there, two Land Rover crews were quickly dispatched to search for the casualty whilst other members gathered at the RV, preparing for a possible lengthy search.
Fortunately, the casualty was soon located by the Land Rover crews and once medically assessed, the Police were updated and the casualty was subsequently left in the care of the Yorkshire Ambulance Service crew.
Many thanks to the landowners for access via their property.
Twenty Cleveland MRT members either attended or were en route when stood down. By the time both vehicles had returned to Base the call-out had lasted approximately 4-hours.

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!
