Vehicles

CRO runs a fleet of three Land Rover Defenders, two of which (CRO 1 and CRO2) are rotated between 'Duty Vehicle' and 'Standby Vehicle', and the third (CRO 3) is available as a personnel carrier and / or off-road ambulance.

CRO1 and CRO 2 are each fully kitted out with enough communication, rescue and medical equipment to handle most mountain and cave rescue incidents, with the Duty Vehicle attending the call-out and leaving the Standby Vehicle available to respond to any additional calls.

This also ensures that we have a vehicle in readiness at the conclusion of any major incident when kit has to be cleaned, dried and then repacked over a period of several days.

 CRO 3 carries enough equipment to handle a simple, non-technical, mountain rescue, and is able to safely transport a loaded stretcher across rough ground to the roadhead.

CRO 1 is a 130 TD5 converted to our specification as a five seat Utility Station Wagon; CRO 2 is a standard 110 TD5 Hard Top; and CRO 3 is a 110 Tdi eleven seat Station Wagon.
