Ambulance Assistance – north of Hawnby

MONDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER 2021 (1409 HOURS)

We were contacted during the afternoon by North Yorkshire Police and the Yorkshire Ambulance Service with reports that a man out walking with his friends on the North York Moors, near Hawnby, had been taken ill and was unable to continuing walking. Two Team Land Rovers and a number of our members were called out and directed to the area.

Shortly before our first personnel arrived on scene (approximately 1-mile north of Hawnby), a Yorkshire Air Ambulance crew landed and assessed the casualty before getting him into the helicopter. He was then flown a short distance to a waiting Yorkshire Ambulance Service land ambulance to be driven to hospital for further treatment. We wish him well for his recovery.

At that point we were able to stand-down and return to our homes and places of work. Eleven Team members were on scene with others en route prior to being stood-down. The incident lasted approximately 1.25 hours plus return travel time. Many thanks to everyone at Nova Scotia Farm for access to the area.
