Story

The members of Red Watch at Scarborough Fire Station are taking on a 2 day challenge. Day 1 will see the band of merry men jump onto mountain bikes, and set forth from Scarborough Fire Station towards the Lion Inn on the summit of Blakey Ridge. Along the way they will encounter various different and challenging types of terrain and complete an epic 50 miles before resting their tired bodies at the Lion Inn. Day 2 sees us pull on our unnecessarily tight lycra to mount road bikes and cycle to Whitby Fire station covering approximately 20 miles. Once at Whitby we will change into something more comfortable to complete the final stretch of our challenge, a further 20 mile walk back to Scarborough Fire Station. All in all a gruelling 2 day challenge, which will not only challenge our bodies but our mental strength too. 

About the charity

Ryedale Dog Rescue

RCN 1117972
Ryedale Dog Rescue was formed in 2005 and became a registered charity in January 2007. Originally set up to rehome abandoned and unwanted animals within the Ryedale area it soon became apparent that there were a large number of dogs in the East Riding of Yorkshire area and beyond facing the threat of unnecessary destruction and desperately needing our help. From humble beginnings homing 12 dogs in the first year we now home approximately 80 dogs per year and in 2018 homed our 1000th dog since we began. Ryedale Dog Rescue is run entirely by volunteers who take no personal expenses from the charity. We raise all our own funds through Fun Dog Shows, Tombola’s, Car Boot Sales, Raffles, Bingo nights, Coffee Mornings, and many other events. All the proceeds go directly to saving the lives of abandoned and unwanted dogs and finding them new forever homes. Welfare is of top priority to us and we pride ourselves on giving the dogs top quality veterinary care while they await their new homes in high quality kennels. Following our Annual General Meeting in April 2012 we unanimously agreed to adopt a non destruction policy meaning no dog taken into our care would never be destroyed (other than on veterinary advice due to illness) and that we would implement a total neutering policy so all RDR dogs are either neutered while in our care or within six months of moving to their new homes dependant on age.
