Pupil Memories

The Cross Country Course

  Peter Douglas drew this map of the Cross Country course in 1960.  It shows the route going from school to Fairway, Kenmuir Avenue, Kettering Rd, Holton's Lane and back though Eastern Ave South.  There was an "unofficial" short cut that we took to shave a little suffering off the run.  The "Valley of Death" referred to was a pit full of rubbish like old mattresses and other junk, and invariably knee deep in nasty water.
