Saturday 5th August 1030hrs.
We were called in by YAS to assist with a crashed mountain biker on a remote area of the moors around two miles from the Lion Inn at Blakey.
We managed to reach the incident site shortly after the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and were able to assist its crew with the loading of the injured man into the aircraft for the short flight to hospital.
The injured man, who was from Hartlepool, had been cycling with a group of friends when he lost control of his bike and ended up going over his handlebars and landing head first onto the ground.
Ten Rescue Team volunteers reached the incident site with more on route. The incident lasted around 3 hours and was the second one in two days that occurred over 20 mies from our Base.
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.
