School Cross Country

Who has memories of running cross country at school. I did it a few times but I don't remember it that well. I know we used to run around the school playing field, then along the road for a bit and then back around the field. I'm guessing we did it twice but it was over 40 years ago and I struggle to remember what I did yesterday. I was a keen athlete in my teens but long distance running was never something I enjoyed.

We started out at the back of the school where a road comes up the side where the ovals are.
The course went down that road turning left, about 200 metres we came to the beach path turning right and followed that to the beach. (🤷‍♂)
Left again. Go maybe 1km till another goes left.
On the road go right for a little bit. The left. Trying not to cut yourself on the barbed wire fence. Through the race track. Across a farm. (Watch out for the pigs) Then a left down the road that leads to the school teachers car park and you're done. 5km in total I think.
