SUNDAY 21ST JULY 2024 (1607 HOURS)
Whilst we were already dealing with a call-out on the Moors (see 30/2024), we were called by the North East Ambulance Service to a report of a teenage mountain biker in Errington Woods, near New Marske. He had sustained a shoulder injury (and potentially other injuries) following an accident.
One Land Rover crew and other personnel were diverted from the earlier call-out and were instead directed to an RV-point at the east of Errington Woods, together with additional members who had since become available. Our Call-out Officer was in contact with a NEAS crew member at the scene to discuss the casualty’s condition and to confirm his location.
Upon arrival we lifted the casualty onto a mountain rescue stretcher and secured him within a Vacuum Mattress and Casualty Bag. We then set up a back-up rope system to safety carry the casualty for approximately 10-metres up a fairly steep slope to the main track. He was then carried for just over 1-Km to the waiting ambulance to transport him to hospital.
Nineteen Team members were deployed to this call-out which lasted for approximately 2.75-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!
