Guisborough Woods Rescue

Our busy mid-July period continued on Sunday 19th July 2020 with our fifth call-out in the space of 10-days; this time to Guisborough Woods. We were contacted by the North East Ambulance Service at 11.19am with a request to assist them with a mountain-biker who had come off his bike and sustained back injuries.

One of our Land Rover ambulances was deployed and a number of our volunteer Team members made their way to the casualty who was treated by paramedics. He was then placed on a mountain rescue stretcher and carried to a waiting ambulance to be taken to hospital for further treatment. 20 Team members were involved (plus two co-ordinating remotely) for approximately 1 hour 40 minutes.
