When you run things happen. When you change your environment, things happen. Mostly the details are mundane, but I have been a witness in certain places and moments in time to things that I found interesting, intriguing, amusing, poignant and memorable. Through my career in the global sports industry, mainly in athletics, for the best part of thirty years, I have had opportunities to run and race in some interesting places around the World, in the UK, and close to home. Those thirty “working” years were a unique time of dramatic growth for global sports with many fundamental changes and I wanted to capture the flavour of living in the goldfish bowl of world sport in a unique period of time. I have chosen 160 different locations in which I have run and raced over the years and let them become the framework for the tales that I tell in these pages. I wanted to allow each tale to be a door into memories and associations with a time and place; sometimes quite straight forward, others are more labyrinthine, with connections leading off at tangents. I wanted to share them; I hope you enjoy the journey?

This well-researched book tells part of the story of the history of Westbrook House School which was and is still regarded as the best post-WW2 private preparatory school for boys in the Folkestone and Hythe area.
The inception of the school was all down to Kenneth Noel Goring Foster (KNGF) with encouragement from his many supporters. Ken Foster, fondly known as “Fozzy” by the boys, a Yorkshireman of drive and determination, already with teaching experience, spotted the opportunity in post-war Folkestone to set up his own school.
Folkestone had many private schools pre-war, but when war broke out, many, owing to the threat of enemy invasion, moved elsewhere in the country never to return.
