Today is my last full day in Westport & so we have embarked upom an exploration of the town itself...& again I am impressed. It has a homely feel to it, like a chocolate box town from an all American movie from the fifties. The pace of life is slow & the people are warm & keen...

Westport would appear to be the perfect antidote to the intense hustle & bustle of London. A sleepy coastal town on the Connecticut coast, with beach lined inlets skirting tree lined expanses of green space. The number of lacrosse goals in gardens & kids running around with la...

Back at the airport again but this time no team travel. Despite a rather frantic start to the day as my alarm clock didn't go off (no idea why other than my Blackberry is getting very temperamental) & I woke at the time I was supposed to be heading for Heathrow, it is a lot mo...

I am staying down in London this weekend as I fly out to the US of A from Heathrow tomorrow. So apart from packing, tying up loose ends to make sure all the athletes under my care are suitably handed over to my colleagues at work & doing some preparative work on the U-18 World...

So tonight was the Diamond League meeting in Oslo & by all accounts a miserable night of weather greeted the athletes. Our GB guys flew out yesterday & had a mixed night of competition once they arrived...

Today was a success, or so the feedback seems to suggest. I have been organising a national CPD day (continuing professional development) for UKA for the last 2 months with our CMO, Paul Dijkstra & despite a few last minute call-offs from speakers & staff alike, everything wen...

Just 2 weeks back from our 3 week warm-weather training camp in Formia, Italy, Heathrow airport beckons once more tomorrow morning. My summer of travels continues this weekend, accompanying the GB sprint relay teams out to the Sparkassen Gala 2011.
