SATURDAY 8TH JUNE 2024 (1635 HOURS)
Our personnel covering the Ardmoors mountain bike event at Lordstones Country Park, were alerted to a report of an injured mountain biker (not connected with the event). He had taken a tumble on one of the tracks below the Cleveland Way at Kirby Bank, about 1.5-Kms east of Lordstones Cafe.
Some people were diverted from the Ardmoors whilst those who had just returned back to Base and elsewhere following the previous call-out (22/2024) were turned out again. The rider was treated by Team members for a serious leg injury before we stretchered (and wheeled) him for 1-Km to a Team Land Rover. He was then driven to the RV-point at Beak Hills Farm where we transferred him to an ambulance – the same YAS crew who we had worked with in the previous call at Scugdale!
We wish him well for his recovery. Many thanks to everyone at Beak Hills Farm who, as ever, were very helpful in permitting us to park in their yard and access across their land.
This time twenty-five Cleveland MRT members were involved for approximately 2-hours before again leaving (some to rejoin the Ardmoors event) and eventually everyone got back to Base and their homes.
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 33/2024
FRIDAY 26TH JULY 2024 (1532 HOURS)
We received a request from the North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust to assist them with a horse rider who had suffered potentially serious injuries after a fall on land east of Guisborough. A Team Land Rover with five people on board was deployed from our Base to an RV-point in the area, whilst other Team members went in their own vehicles. Upon arrival we deployed one ‘hasty party’ on foot to meet up with the NEAS crew dealing with the casualty, with the remainder of our personnel following a short while later.
Once the NEAS personnel had finished assessing and stabilising the casualty, we lifted her onto a rescue stretcher and secured her within a vacuum mattress. After attaching a wheel to the stretcher we wheeled / carried her for approximately 650-metres to the RV-point, from where she was transferred to the waiting ambulance. We would like to send her our best wishes.
Eighteen Cleveland MRT members were involved for just over 1.5-hours when stood-down.
Hoping the casualty recovers quickly, well done team 💚
Well done team 👏👏
