Incident No: 140 2018

Date: 30 December 2018
Time: 14.37 hrs
Location: Selby’s Cove, Simonside

Our quiet festive period came to an abrupt end yesterday when North of Tyne Mountain Rescue Team and ourselves were called out by North East Ambulance Service. A walker in his early 70s had sustained a lower leg injury near to Selby’s Cove in Northumberland National Park. His two companions raised the alarm and Mountain Rescue was swiftly requested.

The casualty was treated by our Medics and pain relief administered before transferring them to our stretcher. By this time it had turned dark and an awkward carry out followed across rough terrain in Harwood Forest.

On reaching the forest track, the casualty was handed over to the Ambulance Service. A great team effort by all concerned.

We wish the walker a full and swift recovery. A shame their walking holiday in Northumberland had to end this way.

The incident involved 22 members for 4 hours 30 minutes.

Date: 8 September 2018
Time: 14.17hrs
Location: Simonside

On Saturday afternoon, the North East Ambulance Service requested Mountain Rescue’s support for an injured climber on the north face of Simonside. North of Tyne MRT and ourselves immediately responded with local members arriving on scene a few minutes behind the Community Paramedic and first responder.

The climber had fallen approximately 10 metres before landing awkwardly on the ground below the crag.

After a full assessment and pain relieve being administered, the casualty was evacuated on a Mountain Rescue stretcher to the crewed Ambulance. Due to the nature of the terrain, a technical rope rescue system was used to safeguard the stretcher and the casualty.

The Teams were assisted by the climber’s friends and the NEAS HART team. We wish the climber a swift and full recovery from his injuries.

The incident involved 15 Team members for 3 hours 10 minutes.
