Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team

🎙️ SRMRT goes international! 🌎

We’re incredibly proud to share that one of our most experienced volunteers, Roger, was recently interviewed by the Rescue Hub Podcast over in the USA — and they’ve dedicated an entire episode to Scarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team! 🧡

From the North York Moors to the other side of the Atlantic, Roger talks about life in mountain rescue, the work we do across our area, the challenges our volunteers face and what it really means to be part of a volunteer search and rescue team.

It’s fantastic to see the work of our team being shared with an international audience, and a huge thank you to the Rescue Hub Podcast for taking the time to speak with Roger and shine a spotlight on what our volunteers do.

And, of course, a massive thank you to Roger for representing the team and sharing his experience and stories from his many years with SRMRT, and mountain rescue in general👏

If you’ve got a spare hour, give it a listen! 🎧

💙 THANK YOU! £15,662 RAISED FOR SRMRT! 💙

What an incredible result from the York Land Rover Show! 🚙💨

A huge thank you to RCM 4x4 Limited, the organisers of the YLR Show, every single attendee, and all the amazing stall holders who helped make the event such a fantastic success.

Together, you’ve raised an incredible £15,662 for Scarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team! 🙌

This event really does make a huge difference to the team. Your support helps us continue to train, maintain our equipment and vehicles, and be ready to respond when people need us most.

We genuinely can’t thank you enough. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who came along, donated, bought something, supported the stalls, enjoyed the show and helped make it such a brilliant day.

£15,662 is an incredible achievement — and we’re massively grateful for every penny.

From everyone at SRMRT: THANK YOU! 👏💙

See you all in 2027!

NEW MJ52
Saturday saw our second Toyota Hilux come into service at the York land rover YLR Show and our trusty Land rover retired from operational service but good news the Landover will be staying in our fleet as a support vehicle.

This project has been made possible by significant help and support from Mark Masons' Hall, RCM 4x4 Limited and Advance Emergency Vehicle. Thank you to everyone that has supported this project.

The New Hilux was soon put to use responding to 3 callouts in 3 days.

We had a fantastic day at Scarborough Fire Station, joining a host of local organisations to share what we do, offer advice, and chat with the community.

It was brilliant to meet so many people throughout the day, and a real highlight was seeing so many children enjoying our mountain rescue colouring sheets and puzzle activities – we hope they had as much fun completing them as we did putting them together!

With the recent spell of warm, dry weather, it was also great to see the Wildfire Response Team on hand, sharing timely advice on how we can all help reduce the risk of wildfires and protect our local countryside. A few simple actions can make a huge difference during periods of heightened fire risk.

A huge thank you to North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service for organising such a great community event and to everyone who came along to say hello. We really appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you all again next year!

🚨 Public Apology 🚨
We have to hold our paws up... 🐾
We somehow managed to miss International Dog Day yesterday.

To make up for it, here's a few photos of our very own search dog Slate and his brilliant handler Sarah.
Together they spend countless hours training to make sure they're ready when someone needs them most.
Their teamwork, commitment and enthusiasm never fails to impress us.

Of course, search dog training wouldn't be possible without all of the fantastic "dogsbodies" who willingly disappear into the hills, woods and heather to be found.
Thank you to every one of you who gives up your time to hide in bushes, behind rocks and in the middle of nowhere so Sarah and Slate can keep their skills razor sharp.

Happy (slightly belated!) International Dog Day, Slate – and to all the incredible search dogs and handlers out there. 🐾❤️

💚 Please support Kelly's Roseberry Topping Challenge! 💚
In just a few days time, one of our incredible support team members, Kelly, will be taking on the climb to Roseberry Topping.
For many people it's a lovely walk, but for Kelly this challenge means so much more.

After undergoing 30 sessions of radiotherapy for a brain tumour and now being 14 months on from finishing treatment, reaching the summit represents an important milestone in her recovery and a celebration of just how far she's come.

Kelly has chosen to make this personal achievement count for something even bigger by fundraising for Scarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team – a charity run entirely by volunteers that relies on donations to keep us responding whenever we're needed.

💚 If you're able to, please consider making a donation.
📲 If you can't donate, a simple share of Kelly's fundraiser could help it reach someone who can.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps us continue providing our lifesaving search and rescue service across the North York Moors and beyond.
Thank you, Kelly, for your determination, courage and support of the team. 🥾⛰️💚
