FRIDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER 2024 (2227 HOURS)
For our third call-out of the day, we received a request from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service to assist one of their crews in the vicinity of Captains Cook’s Monument with the extraction of a male casualty. A Yorkshire Air Ambulance crew was also in attendance. Both of those crews subsequently handled all of the casualty care treatment on scene.
We turned out a number of personnel from various locations (mainly their homes given the time of day); some of them collecting a Team Land Rover en route. Once the casualty had been dealt with by the medical staff, we lifted him onto a rescue stretcher and secured him within a casualty bag to warm him up. He was then carried / wheeled on the stretcher for approximately 350-metres down a narrow path lined with thick gorse and bracken. On reaching Gribdale Gate carpark we transferred him to the waiting ambulance. We wish him well for his recovery.
Sixteen Cleveland MRT members were involved for approximately 2.25-hours.
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!
