Friday 1200hrs August 4th.
A 59 year old climber from York had fallen whilst climbing at Peak Scar, one of the highest crags in the area (and 45 minutes from our Base).
We quickly manned and deployed our two Landrover ambulances and made our way down the Bilsdale valley towards the village of Hawnby and Peakscar crags.
The injured man had fallen from around 10 metres up and had swung on his safety rope onto the crag injuring his chest.
He was treated at the scene by the members of the Team before being immobilised on our stretcher and carried, with the assistance of back up ropes, the 100 or so metres up the muddy access path to the waiting ambulance.
He was taken to James Cook Hospital for treatment.
14 team members took part in the incident that lasted around 3 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.

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.
