TUESDAY 29TH OCTOBER 2024 (1511 HOURS)
We were requested by the North East Ambulance Service 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.
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
Total respect!
