Over the weekend the team provided medical cover for the Boltby Bash mountain bike event, around the village of Boltby. The weekend consists of practice day on Saturday and race day on Sunday with around 1300 competitors. There were a small number of minor injuries, along with a more serious shoulder injury on each day which required an ambulance to take the casualties to hospital.( further information in call out posts)
Two team members , Becky and Ollie, were participating in the event. Following the completion of their practice run on Saturday they then helped the team with the call out. On Sunday they were willing to pause their participation mid race to assist on stage 2, fortunately there were sufficient numbers on scene. They were able to continue with their race.
Thanks to support members, Dom and Peter for doing the bucket collection on Sunday afternoon
A busy weekend for the team, 3 call outs with 2 long days of medical cover.
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 MRT Challenge North follows the same 160-mile route from Hawes to Kirk Yetholm and races under the same conditions as the Challenger North. Beginning from Hardraw in North Yorkshire, competitors have a time limit of 90 hours to get to the finish line at Kirk Yetholm. The trail crosses some of the most beautiful and difficult terrains in Britain including; the Yorkshire Dales, Northumberland National Park, Hadrian’s Wall, and the Cheviots; finishing at the Scottish Borders.
The MRT Challenge North is a special edition of the Montane Spine Challenger South and North and has been created exclusively for active Mountain Rescue members. It provides the MRT an event where team members can compete against each other along the Pennine Way. The creation of the race allows serving members to have their own race and receive a subsidised entry (to cover costs for food and tracker hire) and in return a number of MRT provide vehicles and crew along the race route.
