We would like to say how grateful we are to Jon and Shirley and the whole Hardmoors Ultra & Trail races Community Page. Even though so few races went ahead in 2020, a lot of people entered the races virtually and ran the distances entered regardless. A portion of the entry fees have gone to both us and Scarborough and…

During the current lockdown period Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team members remain available (as ever) to provide our search and rescue services. Our COVID-19 protocols, developed alongside national guidance during 2020, are there to keep our members and casualties as safe as possible. But we all have to be mindful of the current risks that exist especially with a more infectious…

We had big plans to launch our own YouTube channel in 2020 to feature the Team’s work together with advice on hill safety and a range of other topics. Sadly, due to the dreaded COVID, we felt it unwise to gather together simply to create video content so we postponed our plans until later this year (hopefully). However, we did…

Team members helped with the traditional Santa Sleigh Run through Great Ayton on Wednesday 23rd December 2020. The arrangements were different to normal owing to COVID-19 restrictions with people being asked to stay in their then household bubbles and to maintain all social distancing guidelines in force at the time.  The event raised £273 via online donations to go to the Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum. Thank you to everyone…

On Saturday 2nd January 2021, following a request from Cleveland Police, the Team was placed on standby to potentially assist with recovering motorists whose vehicles were stuck in snow on the road at Skelton Ellers. Similar problems arose later at Gribdale Gate on the way up to Captain Cook’s Monument. Twenty Team members were put on standby including three who attended…

Last year was challenging for our volunteers; 58 call-outs, extra work to maintain Team readiness, Covid19 measures causing a massive impact on our kit due to wear and tear and the need for much work to be carried out on our vehicles. All this has required our fundraising to continue but in a very different way. We would like to…

Many thanks to everyone who bought one of our Team 2021 Calendars over the last few months. Subject to a final check at two of our outlets we only have a handful left (if any). We'll let everyone know how much was raised when the final figures are in. The photos were kindly supplied by Team members with the printing…

Thanks to everyone who came out to see Santa and his little Elves from Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team tonight! We hope you enjoyed the evening. We'll let you know as soon as we can how much was raised for the Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum. Have a very Merry Christmas!

Fresh from his role as one of the key players in the All Kids First initiative our Team Leader, Carl Faulkner, has been 'wheeling and dealing' yet again - to the continued benefit of local children. Just in the last few days Carl secured an agreement from local company HMH Civils Limited who donated £5,000 to buy toys and games from Smyths Toys Superstores on Portrack…

Following on from yesterday's All Kids First hamper deliveries some of our Team members - Jack, Alasdair & Rob - were out again today in Team and personal vehicles. They delivered 254 food hampers spread across seven schools (that's almost 500 hampers delivered by Team members across the two days). Plus our friends Scott and Becky from Rob's company Itchyrobot pitched in with a…
