Rescue – Bridestones – 2nd June, 14:22 – (23/2022)
Called by North Yorkshire Police to reports of a 15 year old male cragfast on one of the sandstone features in the National Trust Bridestones nature reserve.
Thirteen team members responded with three team vehicles. Once at the scene a team member was lowered on a rope down to the young man, securing him to the rope before fitting a rescue harness and helmet after which they were both lowered down the feature to ground level and reunion with his family.
He was none the worse for the experience so we wished the family well for the rest of their holiday before packing the kit up, returning to the vehicles and stand down. We were deployed for two and three quarter hours.
