Alongside the North of Tyne Mountain Rescue Team, the volunteers have responded to eight call-outs in just three weeks.
On Tuesday, August 2, four mountain rescue volunteers were called out to a stretch of Hadrian’s Wall path after two teenage boys failed to turn up at a pre-arranged meeting place with their parents.
Fortunately the boys both turned up safe and well shortly after a search plan was developed.
Nine mountain resuce volunteers worked alongside the Great North Air Ambulance crew on Saturday, August 13, after a woman sustained a lower leg injury after slipping on a muddy path at Shield on the Wall.
On Monday, August 15, Northumbria Police alerted the mountain rescue teams to an incident east of Housesteads Roman Fort where a female walker had slipped and sustained head and rib injuries.
Eight mountain rescue volunteers were involved in the incident and the woman was transported via the mountain rescue Land Rover to a waiting ambulance to be taken to hospital.
And on Saturday, mountain rescue teams were called by the North East Ambulance Service to a remote stretch of the Pennine Way, near Rochester.
A man had sustained a lower leg injury and in a four and a half hour operation, 20 mountain rescue volunteers worked tirelessly to stretcher the man across the moors to the nearest driveable track, from where he was taken to hospital.
