Personal Detail
​
​David has always had a love of the outdoors and finds that a long costal walk or a sea swim provides the chance to reconnect with what’s important. Enjoying a challenge, David has combined his love of walking with raising money for charity, having completed both 50k and 100K walks. His core life values are integrity, kindness and patience and these underpin everything he does.
