Looking back through some of our old reports (from the last Century!) one of them contains the following note in relation to the Team’s establishment in 1965:
‘With an increasing number of visitors to the North York Moors there were incidents of people going missing or getting hurt, particularly on the ever popular Lyke Wake Walk’.
Thankfully such incidents on the Walk are now less common. However, as we celebrate our 60th Anniversary, it is very fitting that we can announce a significant donation of £2,250 from the organisers of the Lyke Wake Challenge! Very many thanks to them and to everyone who has contributed to that donation, which will help us to continue our voluntary search & rescue service.
