About us

More information about North of Tyne Mountain Rescue Team:

North of Tyne Mountain Rescue Team delivers essential Search and Rescue cover for the whole of the Northumbria Police area, including much of Hadrian’s Wall, the Cheviot Hills, Simonside Hills, Kielder Forest and parts of the Pennine Way. 

The Team covers both urban and remote environments and call outs include searching for missing or vulnerable people, and rescuing walkers, fell runners, climbers and mountain bikers who are injured or lost. 

The Team is made up entirely of skilled and professional volunteers, responds to around 50 call outs each year and are on call 24/7/365. 

The service is a charity which receives no funding and relies on kind donations to keep the Team operational.

60,000 determined and dedicated runners make the AJ Bell Great North Run the World’s biggest and best half marathon – famous for its warm North East welcome, unbeatable atmosphere and the millions raised for good causes.

We’ll see runners back on the AJ Bell Great North Run, city to sea course, on Sunday as we return to our traditional finish line in South Shields. The AJ Bell Great North Run is an opportunity for us all to come together and support one another.

If you're unable to run and have to withdraw from the 2024 AJ Bell Great North Run, you have the option to defer your 2024 AJ Bell Great North Place to the next year.  You can find more information here.
