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).

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
