The volunteer rescue team received two call outs in two days over the Christmas period.
On Christmas Day the team were called by North Yorkshire Police at just after 4:30pm, to reports of a vehicle leaving the road in adverse winter conditions high in the upper reaches of Bransdale in the North York Moors National Park. The belief was that no one was injured however the two occupants were unable to self recover the car. Two 4×4 team vehicles were deployed and once on scene we established that assistance was being provided by a local farmer and tractor.
Once recovered the car and occupants were escorted to Kirbymoorside and clearer roads where they were able to set off to complete their journey. Five team members deployed for three hours.
On Boxing day the team were called out at 13:50 by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust to a family group which had been walking on the Cleveland Way National Trail south of Scarborough when one of the ladies in the group had slipped and sustained a lower leg injury.
An ambulance crew were on scene treating her injury but needed the equipment and assistance of the mountain rescue team to evacuate her back to the waiting ambulance on the road. The team were deployed for two and a quarter hours.
