Our base and equipment

Since 1996 the team base has been located just off the A170, Scarborough to Pickering Road, in the village of Snainton. Its location provides us with rapid access to the North York Moors, Dalby Forest, Scarborough and The Wolds. The base is home to our vehicles and all the necessary equipment and provides space for training.

We have four vehicles prepared and ready at all times to respond depending on the requirements of an incident. Two long wheelbase Landrover Defenders are equipped for general mountain rescue along with a 4 x 4 Mercedes Sprinters with more equipment but mostly dedicated to personnel transportation. A second long wheel base Mercedes has been converted into a self contained mobile control unit with full radio facilities, extendable mast, Computer mapping and search software, Satellite Internet connectivity along with welfare facilities for the team.  This vehicle is also fully fitted out to be used as an ambulance should we need to use it in that role.
