A number fo Team members provided event cover for the Boltby Bash Enduro over the weekend of Saturday and Sunday 3rd / 4th July 2021. Saturday was practice day, with the competition taking place on Sunday over five stages on the moorland tops and woodlands around Boltby.
With a few showers on Saturday we were hoping for better weather on Sunday although the forecast did not bode well. Initially the day was largely better than forecast with dry, warm conditions until mid-afternoon when we were treated to a lengthy spell of thunder, lightning and heavy rain!
There were nine (mainly) minor injuries over the weekend with a number of riders being provided with casualty care by the Team. Well done to all who took part and to the organisers. Many thanks to the Team members involved – it was a long weekend for them ‘on the hill’ and many were out again on a late-night call-out just a few hours after getting home on Sunday (details of that to follow). Thanks also to everyone who bought some of our merchandise on Sunday or who donated cash – we raised £445 on the day (and thanks to two of our Support members with that fundraising). Also thanks to Mercedes-Benz of Teesside for the continued use of their on-loan Mercedes GLB SUV which was put to good use.
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!
