David Allan was appointed general surgeon to Furness General Hospital in 1975 and almost immediately was drawn into the Duddon and Furness Mountain Rescue Team. In subsequent years, he became medical officer to the national body and then the chairman. Since retirement in 2004, involvement with mountain rescue has continued, but sailing now rivals climbing for leisure time.
