Cross Country Running PE

[Moonraker]

It was 1977. Wednesday's afternoon was 'Games.' There were numerous off-site sports we took part in. We use to go to Morden park in South west London to first do cross country and then play football.
I recall, the PE teacher would run with us at the start and then stop after about a minute, as he would begin complaining about a stitch in his abdomen. During the run we also had to climb fences.

• cross country was something i always liked and it being cross country it was easier on ur joints i loved the challenge.

I used to confuse this with the sponsored walk we we did once - coincidentally on the same day that I was given some new shoes to wear.
