Incident 58 Rescue Bankfoot

Callout 58 occurred at 22:20hrs on Wednesday November 27th just as members of the team were on their way home after one of our weekly Wednesday night training session.

North Yorkshire Police had been alerted to a vulnerable teenager who was stranded on the moors in the vicinity of Bankfoot, an area of the moors around seven kilometres east of Stokesley.

In the appalling weather conditions members of the team deployed in their two landrover ambulances towards Bankfoot. Foot parties, carrying first aid gear and other equipment, were then sent up the track to walk for around a kilometre to reach the location of the young lady who, by now, had been located by police officers.

After treatment at the scene the teenager, who was from the Durham area, was carried on one of our mountain rescue stretchers 100 metres across the open moor to a moorland track to one of our landrovers.

She was then transported to the nearest road and a waiting ambulance.

Fourteen team members were actively involved with more on standby in this incident that lasted just over an hour.

Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team

CALL-OUT 47/2024
TUESDAY 29TH OCTOBER 2024 (1511 HOURS)

We were requested by the North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust to go to the aid of an injured horse rider, following a fall on farmland between Guisborough and Skelton. One of our Team Doctors headed directly there whilst other members using two Land Rovers joined him upon their arrival.

After the casualty had been stabilised and given pain relief, she was ‘packaged’ within a vacuum mattress on a rescue stretcher, which was then secured inside one of the Land Rovers. After she had been driven to a farmyard, she was handed over into the care of the ambulance crew. We wish her all the best for a swift recovery.

Many thanks to people at the farm for helping to transport some of our personnel.

Seventeen Cleveland MRT members were involved for just under 2-hours before they were able to leave the farm and head home or to our Base. ... See MoreSee Less
