That brings us to 28 call-outs to date this year plus 9 other incidents where the Team has undertaken work on behalf of the emergency services and other agencies. It’s looking like a busy year for…

This month's 2021 Calendar photo was taken on the North York Moors National Park along the Cleveland Way National Trail south-east of Osmotherley, near to Whitestone Scar. Appropriately enough with the cyclists in view, the April sponsor is Bike Scene at Guisborough, long-term supporters of the Team. In fact, they also sponsored our 2020 Calendar! Bike Scene are main dealers…

Many thanks to MaD Races for their donation of £134 following the recent 'Swainby Sweep' race.

Since then it’s been virtually non-stop with a total of nine call-outs in just nine days, some with very sad…

After almost three months of lockdown the next easing of COVID restrictions in England will take effect on Monday 29th March 2021 when we will be allowed to meet outside with one other household or via the ‘rule of six’ and the ‘stay at home’ rule will end. Whilst the Government has advised that people should still minimise travel and stay as local as possible we can still expect to see an increase in people travelling further for exercise than we have seen in…

Saturday 20th March 2021 After being stood-down from a call-out earlier in the morning, some of our Team members were out again two-hours later to take part in water training.
