Monday 27th March 1600hrs
We were alerted by NEAS ambulance control to assist with a 66 year old man who was having breathing difficulties on Roseberry Topping. As we had little information to go on, one Landrover was sent to Aireyholme Farm and the other to Newton Carpark so we could access the area from both directions in order to locate the casualty. As were were deploying to commence the search from Newton we met up with a paramedic from the fast response car who was with the casualty on Newton Lane. The 66 year old York man had been walking towards the top of Roseberry with his family when he collapsed with breathing problems. Once he had rested he was able to walk down towards the carpark where the paramedic found him. We transported him to Newton Carpark in our Landrover and passed him over to the waiting ambulance who took him to James Cook Hospital.
The incident lasted about an hour and involved fourteen team members.
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
