Meet Dave Taylor

Dave on the fells

We're pleased to announce that Dave Taylor has joined the Alpine Oasis team.

Dave is a qualified teacher with 15 year’s experience instructing sport and outdoor activities. He holds the Mountain Leader Award, British Orienteering L1 coach and the UK Athletics Leadership in Running Fitness Award.

He is an experienced, competitive fell runner having won both individual and team medals in British and English championships and in his spare time runs with Dark Peak Fell Runners.

Dave has also appeared in Outdoor Fitness and Trail Running magazine writing on the subjects of navigation and hill running, and has written articles for Men’s Running magazine on topics such as; mountain marathons, navigation and night running. In 2012 he assisted with route planning and organising the inaugural 2012 Ultra Tour of the Peak District.

On top of all of this, Dave is an accredited canoeist. This can come in quite handy...because you never know when you might need an experienced canoeist when running in the Peak District!

Dave will join us on the fells in 2013. See the website for 2013 trips.
