Sunday 17th December 15:20hrs.
We were called out by Yorkshire Ambulance Service to help a 71 year old Great Ayton mountain biker who had fallen on the icy paths in Gribdale Forest. This was our third visit to these woods in four days, once on exercise and twice on incidents.
We managed to quickly reach the injured man in our 4×4 vehicles and, assisted by an ambulance paramedic made him comfortable before carrying him off the hillside on a stretcher in the back of one of our Landrover ambulances.
62 callouts equals the record for our highest number of callouts in a year…and there’s still two weeks left!
Around 20 team members helped at todays incident that lasted 90 minutes.
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.

Unfortunately due to the overnight rain with more forecast, today's event at Redcar Racing has been cancelled so we will not be there! Statement from the racecourse:
Unfortunately today’s Easter Monday race meeting has been abandoned.
We are bitterly disappointed that racing is not able to go ahead but there is little that can be done given the amount of recent rainfall this morning.
All pre-paid tickets will automatically be refunded, there is no need to contact the racecourse office.
