The team were requested to provide assistance to North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) to search for a missing casualty in woodland on the outskirts of Loftus. The team sent out both Land Rovers and the Control vehicle along with others in their own vehicles. The Coastguard were also requested to provide assistance. When the first few team members in their own vehicles arrived, the call out officer was notified by NEAS that the casualty had been located and the team could stand down.
16 team members were involved for approximately 1 hour.
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.

The team were requested to provide assistance to North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) to deal with a juvenile who had fallen from a tree and landed a few metres down an embankment at the top of Newton Woods, Roseberry Topping. The team deployed both Land Rovers ,with one coming in via Aireyholme Farm and the other shuttling personnel to the top of Roseberry Lane from the base.
The person was medically assessed by NEAS and Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) personnel who were both on scene. The person had upper body injuries. To extract the person back up onto the path, a rope system was set up to allow the person to walk up on a casualty harness with assistance from a team member on a sit harness. But due to the anxious state of the patient, plan B , use of the mountain rescue stretcher with a back up rope was executed. Once on the path , the person was carried in the stretcher , approximately 400m, down to the waiting ambulance at the top of Roseberry Lane for forward transfer to hospital.
We wish the person a speedy recovery and best wishes
Thanks once again to Mark and family for access via Aireyholme Farm and for the tea and biscuits provided to the person acting as control at the farm.
