SATURDAY 8TH JUNE 2024 (1310 HOURS)
Calls from North Yorkshire Police and the Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) alerted us to a fallen climber in Scugdale near Swainby. The climber had sustained potentially serious injuries and after treatment by the YAS crew and Team members, we secured him within a vacuum mattress and carried him on a rescue stretcher to the top of the crag. We then transferred him to a Yorkshire Air Ambulance helicopter and gave him our best wishes for his recovery process before he was then flown to hospital.
Eighteen Cleveland MRT members were involved for approximately 2.5-hours before some rejoined the Ardmoors event at Lordstones Country Park (where they had been providing event cover), whilst others returned to Base and/or their homes. They had little time to rest before the next call
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!
