Rescue from ice/exposure Yorkshire Dales

Between Swaledale and Wensleydale

A rescue was required for a family that had become trapped on sheet ice on a steep bank in a remote area between Swaledale and Wensleydale. Fifteen team members were deployed to the scene, where the vehicle was located and the family was safely escorted down for recovery.

Outcome: Safe recovery

Support the team who responded. They turn out unpaid, in all weather — every team is a volunteer-run charity.
