Next year will be the 60th anniversary of Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team (or Cleveland Search & Rescue as we were originally called). To help celebrate, we are hoping to put together a collection of photographs and (if possible) video clips that chart the history and development of the Team.
So if you are a former Team Member or had friends or family in the the Team, and would be happy to share copies of photos or videos that you may have, it would be great to hear from you. They could be of members, vehicles, equipment, training, rescues and so on.
They may then be used as part of our celebrations and to help publicise any related activities. Anything from the earlier days would be especially welcome. As would any anecdotes or memories from former Team members (and families etc), even if you don’t have photos.
It would also be great to hear from any casualties who we have helped since being formed in 1965.
If you could help, please could you message us or drop us a note via pro@clevelandmrt.org.uk and we will get back in touch as soon as possible in order to discuss possibly making copies of any photos / videos and to perhaps share any anecdotes etc. Many thanks!
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!
