A few Team members dropped in to wish Nick Piper all the best and to thank him for his fundraising challenge in support of the team, earlier today on Blakey Ridge.
Back in May this year we went to the aid of one the participants in the Boltby Bash Enduro mountain bike event. After treating Nick Piper at the scene we carried him (with the assistance of other participants and event staff) to an ambulance. Unfortunately Nick had broken his back in three places.
As a ‘thank you’ to the Team, he is raising money by undertaking a very testing bike ride – an attempt to ride nine different routes up to Blakey Ridge – he estimates that will be a total distance of 132km including 2,707m of climbing.
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 33/2024
FRIDAY 26TH JULY 2024 (1532 HOURS)
We received a request from the North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust to assist them with a horse rider who had suffered potentially serious injuries after a fall on land east of Guisborough. A Team Land Rover with five people on board was deployed from our Base to an RV-point in the area, whilst other Team members went in their own vehicles. Upon arrival we deployed one ‘hasty party’ on foot to meet up with the NEAS crew dealing with the casualty, with the remainder of our personnel following a short while later.
Once the NEAS personnel had finished assessing and stabilising the casualty, we lifted her onto a rescue stretcher and secured her within a vacuum mattress. After attaching a wheel to the stretcher we wheeled / carried her for approximately 650-metres to the RV-point, from where she was transferred to the waiting ambulance. We would like to send her our best wishes.
Eighteen Cleveland MRT members were involved for just over 1.5-hours when stood-down.
Hoping the casualty recovers quickly, well done team 💚
Well done team 👏👏
