JbiToniA]_, 

i •—«i .•» n».» HM r 

greatly appreciated Tom Walduck sending a cutting from the 'Financial Times' of May 

14th containing a short profile of Peter Lunn, an honorary member of the D.H.O since 

1963, who has reached the venerable age of 88. 

Peter is the son of Sir Arnold Lunn and hence a member of the Kandahar. In the final paragraph of the article Peter explained to 

FT readers "How to join another club, the DownHill Only, with its races across the valley in Wengen". 

"First, you have to be the right sort of chap. Second, a committee member lights a cigar and sends you up the mountain. If his cigar 

is still alight by the time you have skied back down, then you're in. It's as simple as that". Well, now we know!! 

Prospective members who wish to use this sage advice arc advised to provide cigars matched in terms of length and outdoor 'slow 

burn' qualities to the terrain over which they expect to be tested. For example, a decent Davidoff Nol would give them 45 

minutes, quite sufficient for the applicant to take the Wixi chair, the train to Eigergletschcr, ski down Black Rock or Oh God! whilst 

being watched through binoculars and return to the committee member's chair. A 'Hamlet' simply will not do! 

/ 

We have always wished to go Skitouring but have never had the time. To get behind the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau and explore 

the glaciers and summits must be wonderful. For the 2001 Journal, Dick Edmonds and Angela de Klee wrote the obituary notice 

for Oskar Gertsch, one of Wengen's brilliant ski teachers and mountain guides. In April 1951 Angela and Oskar skied from the 

Jungfraujoch Station, traversed behind the Monch and climbed across the arete from the South to the North Eigerjoch. They then 

skied down the Eigergletscher to the Scheidegg, had a cup of tea and went onto Wengen which was a brilliant ski mountaineering 

achievement. Two years later she, Dick F'dmonds and several others made the second ski descent from the Jungfraujoch, first made 

by Arnold Lunn in 1939. Sadly, Angela died in January this year. As a tribute to her and Oskar, we reprint her article 'The Eigerjoch 

on Ski' which first appeared in the 1951 D.H.O. Journal. 

As the letter from William Wells shows, there is a gap to fill after Coggins and there have been several requests for the club to 

encourage snowboarding. To many skiers, snow boarding has always seemed a sport in which it's enthusiasts spend much time 

sitting on their back-sides and, if they can do so in the middle of a piste, so much the better. However, the committee would like 

to encourage D.H.O teenagers to 'do their own thing'. So *hands-up' - who is interested in forming a snow-boarding section? If 

you want it then make it happen! 

Lastly, two things; please see the AGM Dinner notice inserted between pages 10 and 11 and secondly, congratulations to Bob 

Eastwood who has done so much for Coggins in recent years on his appointment as a Snow Sport England Alpine Coach. 

Good ski-ing

As anticipated in the 2002 Journal, a service to celebrate the 

75th year of St Bernard's in Wengen was held on February 9th 

2003. The service was conducted by D.H.O member Roger 

Scoones, Rector of St Mary's Church Stockport. The Ven. Peter 

Hawker, Archdeacon of Switzerland gave the sermon. The 

Anglican Bishop of Gibraltcr, Geoffrey Rowlc, presided at Holy 

Communion. 

As the letter from William Wells shows, there is a gap to fill 

after Coggins and there have been several requests for the club 

to encourage snowboarding. The committee would like to 

organise a Snowboarding Week with a leading teacher from 

Wengen Ski School. If it were desired one or two days could be 

spent on skis and informal race training. You can start learning 

basic technique on a dry slope - you don't have to wait until, 

you arrive in Wengen. 

Would parents and prospective teenage participants please 

contact the Hon Editor as soon as possible.

Most of the youngsters who got thoroughly soaked at the 

Wycombe Summit Coggins Meetings in the past 3 years have 

outgrown Coggins. I Iowcvcr, these were all very enjoyable 

events and it is now down to boys, girls and parents whether 

they continue. 

Coggins age children would still be welcome and a fun race can 

be organised. Also, provided numbers are advised quickly, 

snowboarding lessons can be arranged. The planned date is 

Sunday December i.e. the first Sunday after term ends. Please 

contact the Hon Editor by mid October. 

Dolores White, one of the organisers, has asked that the Journal 

remind members that the 2003 LSC equipment and clothing 

sale will be held on Saturday 8th November between 10am and 

2pm.The profits go towards their racing and training costs. 

Anyone with children from 'tinics' up to and including 

teenagers knows the speed with which ski clothing has to be 

replaced. If you get more than a couple of weeks wear you'll be 

lucky. Last year, within five minutes of arriving, I sold a two 

year old salopette and jacket outfit in good condition that my 

son had outgrown for £60. The LSC took their 'cut' and with 

the balance I bought a virtually brand new ski jacket and fleece. 

So don't just throw things at the Oxfam shop, get yourself over 

to Wycombe Summit ski slope on November 8th. It is 5 minutes 

drive from J4 of the M40. 

A new log cabin style restaurant has been put up between the 

top of the Wixi Lift and the Lauberhorn Start Hut. It will be 

open for the winter season, as well for some weeks during the 

summer. There will be between thirty and forty seats, indoors 

and outside. The restaurant replaces the old bar at the top of the 

Wixi, which was established by the late Andreas Cova. Fittingly, 

Andreas' widow, Ariane is a driving force behind the new 

enterprise and, in addition to other food and drinks, will be 

providing a daily soup dish prepared in a traditional cheese 

kettle.

EN LITEN HOPPE! 

Reading Tim Ashburner's book on ski jumping reminded me of 

my few attempts whilst working for Geilo Ski School in 

Norway during 1967 and 1968. 

Geilo had a jumping hill set into the woods about 500 yards up 

and behind the Dr Holms Hotel. From a distance it didn't look 

much - a piece of cake. One day after afternoon classes some 

bright spark suggested we have a go and, having spent a hour 

trampling clown the deep snow in an approximate landing area, 

we all took a nearby ski lift, got off half way up the steep bit 

and cut along through the trees to the top of the jumping hill. 

Wow. It was like standing on the top of a 4 storey block of flats. 

All you could see was straight over to the far side of the village 

slope half a mile away. From the top of the 'in-run' down to the 

lip seemed awesome. Gulp! 

Of course, we were all wearing normal teaching kit, in my case 

leather Kastinger ski boots, the very latest 'Look' turntable 

bindings and Head 210cm GS skis. Not special jumping skis 

that arc much wider, with three or four grooves in the base for 

stability on landing and cable bindings to give heel-lift. None of 

us were going to win a "Style tk. Elegance" competition. I can 

remember going down this thing and trying to hurl myself into 

the air in good style at the critical moment. I doubt that any of 

us went more than 30 to 40 feet in the air before thumping back 

down to earth, but it did give an idea of the terrific guts serious 

ski jumping takes. We did that twice, once for a laugh and a 

second in an utterly misguided wish to improve. The third never 

happened. That's why I'm still here! 

Once a week, we used to organise a 'Mini-Hoppe' over the edge 

near the ski school hut to provide some light entertainment. 

There was no real 'in-run' just a break neck dash down the 

main ski slope to between the middle flag poles. The run-out 

was tiny and had a wire fence beyond which was the main 

Oslo-Bergen railway line. The photograph shows the modern 

'V form of flight already in use in 1968, albeit highly 

involuntarily, by your Hon Editor. Note the severely anguished 

expression! 

YOU CAN NOW USE FORM El 11 IN SWITZERLAND 

Members might like to know that an agreement between the EU 

and Switzerland came into force on June 1st 2002. If you arc a 

national of the UK or other F.U country you will be able to use 

form El 11 to get reduced cost on immediately necessary health 

care in Switzerland. El 11 forms should be obtained, completed 

and stamped at any post office before leaving the UK. 

It should be stressed that only 50% of helicopter evacuation is 

included, there is a small excess and a CHF 10 daily charge. 

However all this is better than nothing. Further details can he

THE DICK EDMONDS STROKE APPEAL 

Late last year Sarah Edmonds and her family decided to attempt 

to raise £100,000 to buy equipment for a much needed 

specialist ward at Watford General Hospital to care for stroke 

victims. 

This past spring and summer the appeal committee (chaired by 

Dick and Sarah's daughter Anna Rankin) has organised a huge 

range of activities including abseiling down their local church. 

Having been frequently teased by Dick for never having climbed 

a 4000 metre peak, Sarah set herself the task of climbing the 

Monch with Adolf Schlunegger. This they did on August 19th. 

Well done. Sarah's article will appear in the 2004 Journal. 

To date the appeal has raised £35,000. Any member who 

wishes to add a donation should send a cheque (made payable 

to The Hertfordshire Community Foundation) to Mrs S 

Edmonds, The Garden House, Micklefield Hall, 

Rickmansworth, Herts, WD3 6AQ.

Dear David, 

Letters to the Hon. Editor 

The memories of Ros Hepworth on pages 36-38 of this year's Journal have inspired me to add a few of my own. 

Dick Edmonds' recollections brought to mind an occasion when Ros "persuaded" me to gate-keep for a slalom. After several hours 

standing in the snow with nothing much happening except that I was getting very cold, Ros suddenly appeared on skis out of the 

mist. I thought it must be relief at last. "Would you like a Marmite sandwich?" she asked. This seemed so incongruous that I 

nearly collapsed with laughter. She fixed me with a gimlet eye: "Richard, I can see that you obviously have never been on the 

breadline!" 

The D.H.O office was then in a sort of barn down a steep icy ginnel at the side of what is now the Sunstar Hotel. Ros abhorred 

idle hands, and if there was nothing better to do she would set you counting slalom poles of which there were a great stack in a 

corner. I wonder how many times they were counted and how many different answers resulted. 

It was Ros who taught me the secret of enjoying Fondue (cheese fondue of course, there was no such thing as Fondue Bourguignon 

in those days, let alone Chinoisc). You must have plenty of Fendant and two glasses per person, one for sipping and one for 

dipping. You will then have a tasty piece of spongy 'trifle' at the heart of your swirl of cheese instead of a lump of hard stale bread. 

As the evening progresses it becomes more and more difficult to remember which glass to dip the bread into. The not very helpful 

answer to this is that the empty glass is the one for drinking! 

It was fun being the D.H.O's Hon Treasurer, when Dick Edmonds was President, Sonia Hankin the Hon Secretary and Ros in full 

flight. She introduced me to numerous generals and other big-wigs from the skiing world, and to all the pretty young girl racers. 

She even took me to Murren to meet the great Arnie, rather like going to Rome to meet the Pope. Is it really 25 years since we stood 

bareheaded on a hillside in the Lakes and saw Ros buried in Troutbeck churchyard? She left half her estate to the D.H.O. What a 

marvellous legacy after half a lifetime devoted to the club. 

Lastly, the Journal goes from strength to strength, a great way to inspire us to make our reservations for 2003. 

Yours sincerely, 

Richard Wheway East Wing, Claxton House, Claxton, York YO60 7SD

Sir, 



I am a 14 year old member of DHO, and as most people do, I had a great time with the Coggins. I am now, however, looking for 

some teenage group skiing and have liased with Bob Eastwood on the subject. He agreed that there is a definite lack of teenage 

skiing for 13-18 year olds who wish to ski "Fast and Furious". I would like, if possible, to encourage young people to sign up for 

group skiing. I would be grateful if the Committee could organise something for us. 

Many thanks, 

William Wells, Aged 14 (Ex-Coggin)

Dear Mr Price, 

The 'McMillan Who?' article by Freddie Whitclaw made interesting reading, all the more so since I met and spent time with Doran 

Webb on many occasions in Wengcn. I Ic said to me that he had "been coming here (i.e. Wcngen) each year since 1927, except the 

war years and even with the £10 travel limit after the war, I came, spent what I liked and issued a cheque which eventually turned 

up in London". He said he was "an early parachute instructor in the RAF, and used to go up on the wing of a Vimy bomber, 

hanging on to the wing strut and then letting go!". 

Finally, your address triggers my memory. During the summer of 1940,1 was at an Air Defence Cadet Corps (later the Air Training 

Corps) camp at White Waltham airfield. The Battle of Britain was at it's height. I was in the radio shack listening to the radio 

telephone exchanges between the pilots in combat. "Paddy, Paddy, a yellow nosed bastard on your tail!" A lot of shouting, swearing, 

static and machine gun fire. A very, very moving experience for me, and on your doorstep.

January 16th 2003 

Dear David, 

I'm getting ready to go to Wengen as Chaplain and what better way of doing so than to read the Journal. I have to say that it is 

first class. You have succeeded in bringing it into a new league of it's own. 

If anything kept me interested in Wengen between 1978 when I joined the D.H.O. and 1983 when I was Chaplain for the first time 

it was the Journal. For many members who, for one reason or another aren't able to get out to ski in Wengen for a season or two, 

the Journal is a hugely significant and tangible expression of their love for the place and of their loyalty to the D.H.O. 

As Chaplain, on and of, for the past 20 years, it has been the greatest privilege to share in the life of the D.H.O which has been a 

focal point of my ski-ing and social life. The friends I have made and the fun I have had have been almost entirely due to my 

membership of the D.I I.O. The English Church in Wengen is celebrating it's 75th anniversary this season (only a lap or two behind 

the D.H.O.) and I'm privileged to be Chaplain for that celebration. What a lot I owe to the D.H.O and the I.C.S who run St 

Bernard's. 

Wishing you a happy season ski-ing in Wengen, 


Revd. Roger Scoones

From: Carol Pettman 

April 5th 2003 

Dear Editor, 



It was with very great sadness that I heard of the death of Chris Brasher. Many, many years ago when I was ski rep for the D.H.O, 

Chris and his son Hugh joined my happy band of warriors. I remember many conversations that we had on a range of topics, not 

least being the AAA on which Chris held very strong views. 

The calibre of the man was demonstrated after a large fall of new snow. The Ski Club rep and I decided we could only take a 

maximum of, I think, 8 of the 20 or so people who turned up to ski with us. It was my unenviable task to pick those who could 

cope with the conditions. I had had a particularly difficult time with a D.H.O member whose idea of his own ability to ski in powder 

snow was not matched by my own view of his prowess. I then turned to Chris; I did not have to say a word, he put his hands 

in the air and immediately said that he and Hugh would go off together. No question, no argument. I still remember the enormous 

sense of relief and respect I felt. I knew that Hugh could have managed, but I had serious doubts about Chris whose style of 

skiing then was somewhat matched by the out of date black anorak he wore! 

I had hoped to meet Chris again at the D.H.O AGM and Auction last November, sadly this was not to be. My sympathy goes to 

his family and particularly, Hugh.

Dear David, * * 

Ramsay Whittet recently loaned me copies of four D.H.OwJournals including the 2002 issue. Having edited the Dundee Ski Club 

Journal for 19 years and sat on the Scottish National Ski council, reading these Journals made me realise how many D.H.O 

people I had met and got to know. 

Dick Edmonds and I used to regularly correspond when we ^r> both Hon Editors. I met Ingie Christophersen and remember, when 

we were testing a prototype electronic slalom finish gate that Ingie wore breeches made out of some form of fluorescent material 

which wouldn't break the beam! Richard Berry spent some time with us in Scotland and I recall talking about team management 

with Ros Hepworth. Our Dundee Club provided a number of Coggins over the years, notably Helen Somerville (nee Jamieson) who 

was in the British team with Divina. 

In 1952 the Blairgowrie section of Dundee Ski Club visited Wengen and stayed at the Oberland Hotel in Lauterbrunnen owned by 

Fritz Staeger. We were taught by his son Werner who later became a well-known teacher and guide. To see whether our skiing 

abilities matched our bar talk, we were 'invited' to descend the direct line into the Punch Bowl where we all ended in a pile at his 

feet. In the Swiss Silver timed descent down the Wengen Standard, Werner set us off at 5 second intervals and then, stopwatch in 

hand, overtook us all on the way down and timed our finishes. Perhaps my return visit is overdue. I was always pleased to see my 

name (BOB) on the railway carriages.

Book Review 

'The History of Ski Jumping 5 by Tim Ashbumer. 

I was considerably surprised to learn that despite the fact that ski jumping has been 

an established sport for over 100 years a formal history had never been written. 

Had anyone asked, I would have certainly have hazarded a guess that some 

Norwegian must have already 'hoppe'd' along and done the job. Apparently not, 

and club member, Tim Ashburner, has done so. 

Tim, who has heen involved with ski jumping for over 40 years, has collated the fruits of much research into this well presented 

book. Having learnt to ski in Norway, I found the reports of the earliest ski jumping competitions between 1880 and 1914 well 

covered. The two Ruud brothers and other Norwegians were feted competitors in the jumping and cross-country events held in 

Austria, Germany and Switzerland which drew enormous crowds in those years. 

The contribution of the two Britons, Edward and William Richardson to the development of both jumping and downhill ski 

racing before and after The First World War is equally well documented. As always with such books, to the casual reader some of 

the content can be repetitive, but it aspires to be a formal record and details of Olympic records are included. 

The Chris Mackintosh mentioned in pages 62 and 63 was 

C.E.W. Mackintosh, the President of the D.H.O from 

1957 to 1964. His son Charlach who lives in Alberta, 

Canada, is still a member, as is his daughter Sheena 

Hilleary. 

During much the same period, 1957 to 1962, Colonel 

Percy Legard ran his ski jumping course for beginners 

on the slope above Mary's Cafe which can be reached 

via Devil's Gap. A great character, Percy stood out like 

l bottle of Dole among the Feldschlossen, and for a 

few winters had his Pink Bar in the Palace Hotel (now 

owned by Club Med). Tim and some of the better 

jumpers got the old Jimgfrauschanz.e open again and 

ran ski jumping classes there in January 1964. 

There are, apparently, tens of thousands of converts 

to the sport on the plastic jumping hills of Korea, 

Japan and elsewhere. Tim will, I trust, find his book 

a far greater sales success overseas than it will be 

here where mere mention of ski jumping leads 

people to immediately think of Eddie 'the Eagle'. 

Copies of the book can be obtained from Quiller 

Press, Shrewsbury, tel: 01939-261616.

The Ski Teacher 

The autobiographyof Frith Finlayson 

One Friday morning in mid-December 1968, Alasdair Ross and I left Leeds in Ali's 

small two-seat Volkswagen Karmann Ghia on the long drive to Aviemore. Piled with 

luggage and skis we headed to a BAPSI (British Association of Professional Ski 

Instructors) course based at Glenmore Lodge. 

Ali was one of the course trainers and he introduced me to Frith over "a wee drinkee" when we arrived. Having spent the 

previous winter in Norway where snow was never less than plentiful, I was amazed that anyone would attempt to run a serious 

instructors course where the only available terrain was a narrow sheet of blue ice down Coire na Ciste and the top of a bleak, rock 

strewn, gale swept 'White Lady'. Frith was someone with decided opinions and run it they did. Somewhere, I still have my blue 

BAPSI badge with its snowflake design. 

Frith Finlayson played a pivotal role in the creation of 

the British Association of Ski Instructors and helped 

set the very high standards of ski teaching which that 

organisation maintained for many years. I was 

unaware of his great admiration for the D.H.O, the 

Coggins and Ros llepvvorth's race training methods. 

Caroline Simms and Joan Shearing skied with him on 

many occasions, the latter introducing him to 

Werner Staeger of Lauterbrunnen. 

In turn, Werner was instrumental in getting Frith | 

invited to the annual Swiss Ski School Directors | 

courses from 1959 onwards. The standard at which | 

those courses were run provided the benchmark to I 

which his own Ski School D'Ecosse and later, the I 

BASI were run. He made many Swiss friends, I 

especially in Wengen, and that in itself speaks 

volumes. I found the book a very interesting read. I 

There are humorous tales and touching moments. I 

There is an old saying that "everyone has a book 

in them" and in Frith's case it was certainly true. I

letter we publish on page 10. Copies can be j

Wengen Season Report 


ii A ftcr three months you might be fit to go back to your normal job". Little 

l r did the doctor realize the exact nature of my job or the altitude involved. 

Having carefully planned the date of my operation to fit in between my 

summer and winter jobs I was not about to miss out on the skiing! 

Maree and I arrived in Wengen on December 3rd to have a 

short non-skiing break before the season started. The move into 

the flat was unbelievably simple. My heart was very glad, since 

in previous year we had to hump and heave our possessions 

from the hut roof to whichever top floor flat the village had 

rented for us. Fresh snow greeted us and the urge was too great 

to miss it! For the rest of the season my ticker behaved 

impeccably despite a couple of heavy falls, when luckily only my 

nose suffered! Thank you all for your good wishes. 

Wengen had little or no snow until early December, when a 

couple of feet gave the pistes a good covering right down to the 

village. There followed a long period of extremely cold clear 

weather when the cannons were able to work to their full 

capacity. 

During December, with a few more snow falls and apart from 

one day of heavy rain, the pistes above Wengenalp were in 

fantastic condition and Mannlichen had excellent firm snow 

cover to middle station. Sadly, below that the Tschuggen run 

and Brandegg to Grund were incomplete 

although, as soon as it was cold enough, the 

first two had ten cannons each working 

flat out. 

January arrived with the village streets snowless 

and the run to the village closed; although 

the cannons were hard at work even behind 

the Brunner hotel! More to the point Sacha 

Zvegintzov and Lisa were due to get married 

and leave the church by horse and sleigh. 

Thankfully, two days before the 60 guests 

arrived, the heavens opened and Wengen and 

the pistes could not have looked better. We 

had a fantastic party at the Belvue Scheidcgg 

with a special train at 2am. 

Mid January provided a fantastic piste for the Lauberhorn 

double downhill and slalom races with ever greater crowds and 

festivities. Hospitality tents seemed to grow like mushrooms. 

The Inferno race the following weekend proved a great success 

with the finish in the middle of Murren. Max Davies gathered 

the largest team so far and all finished without serious mishap. 

Maureen Fanshaw was awarded the new trophy for the "Best 

Effort". 

, 

At the end of the month the D.H.O hosted the British School 

Boys Championships with an excellent course provided by the 

Wengen race organisation. Sadly the weather closed in and, 

after an unpleasant first day, the second race day was cancelled. 

The race was further blighted by an unfortunate leg injury to 

Richard Berry which happened whilst he was supervising the 

course. We hope he is fully recovered and that next year will go 

without a hitch. This race meeting was resurrected by Richard, 

a few years ago, to match the School Girls Championships. The 

club was able to provide some redundant cups, in particular the 

Halford Hewitt schools cup. Such a race involves a massive 

amount of administration and organisation to gather, house and 

control a hundred school children and parents. Richard, Inge 

and their parental team are to be congratulated on their success 

over the past few years. 

In early February more and more heavy snow followed, with 

the result that an avalanche wiped out some of the railway 

pylons just before Wasser Station and the general danger closed 

the mountain just in time for McMillan Week. By the Thursdaythere 

was still no skiing on the Gummi side of 

the mountain. The race was postponed until 

Friday when luckily, with only two hours 

before the start, the Tschuggen piste was 

opened but with no time for a practice run! 

During the previous few days the pisteurs had 

worked daily on the run and the condition was 

as perfect as I have ever seen it. Sadly two of 

the expected three Ashes contenders were 

unable to be in Wengen this season. Hopefully 

they will all be there for next year or more 

importantly 2005 for the 80th anniversary! 

The snow was now set for the rest of the 

season with fantastic powder to start with, 

followed by some 7 weeks of wonderful 

sunshine in February and March. Despite the early bad 

weather, we managed to run every race including the Roped 

race, which luckily did not, as before, end in injury and 

divorce!! The Railway Cup was the usual hilarious alcoholic 

party with the "speed trap" being used to fiddle the results. 

Luckily the trap did not include a breathalizer!

Jerald Rentsch and his pisteurs did a fantastic job with 

numerous cannons, new runs, a snow board park and a speed 

trap to test your nerve. On the last day of March the run to the 

village and Oh God! were still open thanks to the great piste 

work and cannon planning and effort! 

Maree and I seem to have had the busiest season ever guiding 

some 730 people over 73 days. During the previous season the 

average was six and a half people per day.

The late Easter seemed to have put a serious dampencr on the 

end of the season, despite there being fresh snow as usual in 

April. Coggins training was a non event, with very few kids, 

resulting in the first financial loss for Coggins since 1989. 

Hopefully the village and the skiing may yet find a way to "stay 

open" for each other and attract much needed late season skiers.

Prize poem by Val and Mike Easley 

First to Mdnnlichen we did go 

To ski to Holenstein below 

"Bergfahrt difficult" the sign we see 

But just how difficult can a bergfahrt be? 

Thousands flock the Mdnnlichen trail 

It really is beyond the pail 

And so for Tschuggen lift we head 

To count those poles, they're all bright red 

Arithmetic at Gummi later 

Wish we'd brought the calculator 

Black sky with darkening wind and snow 

Off to Arvengarten go. 

Drinking gluhwein, watch the sky 

Ruth and Beanie go whizzing by 

Off to the lift they join the queue 

Turn left for Brandegg, that's what we'll do. 

After lunch it's through the turnstiles 

"Beep,-gute fahrf the machine replies 

At Alpiglen as well we might 

Out we peer and note the height. 

And so to Scheidegg we arise 

With snow flakes getting in our eyes 

The Hopla Bopla's 34 

They really could'nt ask for more 

And so it's back off down the hill 

What we don't know now , we never will 

With thanks to Paul and all our chums 

A good day out for these ski bums!

At present wc have two types of award. The D.H.O Silver and 

Gold badges are given for service to the club, particLilarly when 

a member has brought the D.H.O to the favourable notice of 

the w r ider world of skiing. The other type of award is the 

Racing Arrow given for participation in a representative racing 

squad. The Bronze, Silver and Gold Arrows are given for 

membership of the British Children's, English & Scottish and 

the British teams, respectively (with similar recognition for 

other nationalities). 

A member who achieves something notable on skis, but outside 

the field of international racing is not eligible for any of these 

awards. This is a shame because there are many other skiing 

feats that are worthy of celebration. For example, members of 

our Club team regularly make good times in the Inferno. Top 

international racers go to Miirren for this event and it must be 

acknowledged that a participant who is awarded a silver medal, 

or three bronzes, has achieved something worthwhile. Our 

own MacMillan Race is unique and fiercely competitive; 

acknowledgement should certainly be given to the overall 

winner as well as to the winners of the important classes in the 

race. Racing is not the only field in which skiing distinction can 

be recognised. An Haute Route on a difficult line including 

some notable ascents would certainly be included in the list. 

To recognise such achievements the committee have 

inaugurated a new award, the D.H.O Ski Award. For 

participation in the Inferno and the MacMillan, the standard 

can be set. For other skiing feats potentially worthy of a D.H.O 

Ski Award we invite members to submit themselves, or

President's Report 


Awards, medals and gongs of various sorts are a small but 

intriguing part of club life. To the outsider they are of no 

interest whatsoever and it does not do to go on about them, 

other than in the Journal. 

submitted by someone else. A particularly useful way to make 

a submission would be in the form of an article written for the 

Journal. D.H.O members get up to some remarkable things, so 

let's hear about them. 

THE D.H.O APARTMENT 

The summer of 2003 was the first season during which 

members were able to use the Club apartment. I am writing this 

before the first visitor arrives and am hoping occupancy will be 

high. One detail needs to be clarified; the apartment can 

accommodate two couples in comfort; one in the double 

bedroom, the other on the sofa bed in the living room. 

I hope that summer visiting thrives and that members pass on 

their experiences to the rest of the Club by writing in the 

visitor's book. In due course we will publish accounts of 

summer visits to Wengen in the Journal which will bring an 

extra dimension to Club activity. 

Our AGM is now established in November and the change from 

the old date appears to be popular. Central London is a place 

to avoid in June but in contrast, late autumn is just the time to 

get together with skiing friends to make arrangements for the 

coming season. I hope that the dinner after the AGM will prove 

to be as successful as it was last year. When you think about it, 

the fun will be the same but your wallet will not be put to the 

same stress as it was during the fund raising campaign. I look 

aid to seeing you there.

The Railway Cup 

Walter Steuri 

F 

or many years we organise the Railway Cup. There are many names engraved 

on the cup, the winners weren't always the fastest and often they were not even 

the cleverest. But the winners were always good friends of Wengen, friends of 

the railways or other lucky people. 

Organising the Railway Cup is our way of saying thanks for 

being faithful guests of Wengen and our ski-region. It's an 

honour for us, that you came, that you gave your very best in 

the race and that you all hoped to be the winner of the Railway- 

Cup 2003. I noticed that you started lunch without prayer. 

That's a sign of confidence. Confidence in the cook's ability! 

For mc it was always incomprehensible why mountaineers from 

England - a great seafarer nation - were the ones who did most 

of the first ascents of our mountains. Last Sunday we took 

revenge for this fact. Switzerland - the landlocked country - 

won as first European team the America's cup the oldest sailing 

regatta in the world. Switzerland is now the seafarer-nation Nr. 

1! Only 3 men of the 14-men crew were Swiss. It doesn't matter: 

the English mountaineers hired Swiss mountain-guides as 

well! 

As you know the rules of the America's cup are very old. It will 

be time to overlook these prescriptions. If not, errors can have 

negative effects as the following example shows: A young monk 

is told to copy the church laws by hand. He notices, however, 

that the text he is using is also a copy of the original 

manuscript. He says to the abbot: "If there is a mistake in the 

first copy, all the later copies will have the same mistake." The 

abbot says, "We have been doing it this way for centuries, but 

you're right." He goes to check the original, which is kept in a 

locked room. Hours go by, and the abbot still has not returned. 

Worried, the other monks begin to search for him. They find the 

old man hitting his head against a wall an crying 

uncontrolably. The young monk asks, "What's wrong, 

father?" The abbot points to the original document: "The word 

is 'celebrate', not 'celibate'." 

I heard that you have to pay a 5-pounds-a-day charge for 

driving in central London since 17th February. This road 

pricing system is quite an interesting idea. We now are studying 

if wc could do the same on crowdy ski-pistes during the 

peak-season. 

Talking of good ideas: I think the project of Gerald to 

encourage people to do some exercises when descending the 

Lauberhorn-race was quite a good idea. At least for the first 

time in the history the Innerwengen-lift transported more 

people in February than the Salzegg-lift. That's a good 

precondition to follow our plans to renew the Innerwengen-lift. 

We want to get the concession this year and to construct the 

new detachable 4 seater chairlift in summer 2004 - just in time 

for the 75th anniversary of the Lauberhorn-race. I hope that 

after opening of the new chairlift everybody will ski down to 

Innerwengen before going back to Wengen. 

Last but not least many thanks to Paul and Gerald for the 

perfect organisation of the today's race. They did a good job as 

every year. Please allow me a last remark: We didn't win so 

many medals on the ski-world-championships in St. Moritz. We 

are sorry, but don't expect too much of a seafarer-nation! I wish 

you some more lovely ski-days in Wengen and thank you for 

coming to the Railway-Cup.

Coggins Season 2003 — 

Bob Eastwood 

£fVV7 hat is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare". Coggins are always 

yV encouraged to enjoy the mountains and I hope go home from their holiday having learnt 

something more about their surroundings of rock and ice. We often pause at the top of Wixi 

or Mannlichcn and learn the names of the peaks and valleys and enjoy the wonder of it all. 

It must the Geomorphologist in me coming out. Skiing is after all Coggins Group Photo Feb 2003 with Bob Eastwood 

about more than skiing like maniacs!! Is the view as good at forty 

miles an hour? Ask the average Coggin and the reply will be "It's 

better!!." But when you're a Cog. "Fast and fun" is the motto. 

The season got off to it's now traditional flying start despite the 

snow being more like Easter - lot's on top and nothing down 

below. The Christmas session was well attended with 32 kids 

keeping Phillipe and myself busy over two weeks. Splendid snow 

provided excellent conditions for fast and furious skiing and some 

closely contested racing. Unfortunately this year we were not able 

to take part in races organised by the racing and training 

department, this was a shame as it is good for the kids to have a 

taste of things to come should they have the racing bug. However 

in the second week of the holidays we were able to arrange a 

slalom race on bumps, competed for over two legs just like the real 

thing. Consistency was the name of the game and Charlie Skinner 

of the "Scheidegg contingent" took first place. 

There was another great attraction for speed freaks this season. 

Gerald and his mountain men have installed a speed trap at the 

bottom of the Hannegg Schuss. I don't know what speeds most 

members recorded but Coggins were regularly in excess of 80 kph 

(That's over 50mph!!). They thought it wonderful, I could hardly 

look as boys and girls alike threw themselves down the mountain. 

The only trouble was that it was really only one go a day due to 

the location. Once was quite enough for Bob!! 

Half term was almost as busy as Christmas with 28 kids coming 

along over the two weeks. Phillipe had only one-week holiday 

from uni. so we introduced a new leader in the person of Reto Jost. 

He proved very popular. We ran races both weeks on the 

Mannlichen race piste. Excellent weather on both occasion and 

plenty of parents spectating added to the enjoyment of these 

closely contested events. The first race was won by a boy Marcus 

Barstow with Annabel Roberts being the first girl. In the second 

week however the tables were changed and girls took first and 

second place. Grace McCutchan (race trainee) just beating the 

competitive Sonya Strage. Peter l.awrance was first boy in third 

place overall. Former Coggin, Chris Hoyle won the adult race on 

the same course. 

On the last day of half term Coggins we broke new territory and 

took the kids to First for the day. The day was a tremendous 

adventure and great success, we intend to repeat such trips when 

circumstances allow. This was an experiment and was only 

possible because the group with Reto had made so much progress 

that they could ski with the bigger kids, well done to them. 

28 

The season was going so well that I looked forward to an exciting 

Easter session. I am now part-time with the ski school and travel 

to Wengen for each Coggins session. However having made the 

trek to Wengen it was unfortunate that hardly any kids were in 

town. Perhaps it was the lateness of Easter that spread the school 

holidays but we struggled to run Coggins at all and made a loss 

for the first time since I took over the running Coggins seven years 

ago. The result of this is that if Coggins is to run at Easter next 

season then parents are going to have to contact us to let us know 

when they're coming so that a leader can be provided. The snow 

and weather were every thing we have come to expect at Easter 

with superb skiing conditions so I was able to enjoy my enforced 

holiday tremendously. 

Ever increasing skill levels among the older Coggins have 

encouraged younger ones to tremendous achievements. I am 

immensely proud of the standards of skiing achieved by the 

Coggins as well as by their humour and behaviour. The standard 

of their skiing and behaviour as a group on the mountain and in 

the restaurants often attracts favourable comments and they are a 

credit to themselves and the club. 

Gosh! this sounds like a school report. OK. Coggins are "Mad, 

Bad and Dangerous to know!!" Is that better Kids?? 

If you are under twelve and have not been a Coggin yet, come and 

join us. Learn to ski fast, have fun and be safe on the most 

beautiful mountains in the world (and learn their names as well). 

We welcome all six to twelve year olds who ski to "racing 

snowplough" standard and enjoy skiing in an English speaking

group. We are definitely nor ski school but you will learn an awful 

lot about skiing faster and safer. 

With thanks to Paul and Maree , all the parents who gave their 

time to help with races and of course to the people of Wengen who 

make it such a great place to ski. I always plead with members to 

spread the word about Coggins, it really is unique, so that we can 

continue to train enthusiastic, fast and safe young skiers. It is a 

tremendous help if you can tell us in advance when you arc 

coming to Wengen as it is not 

always easy to get extra 

teachers at peak times. If you 

are now too old for Coggins 

talk to me about what we can 

organise for you to keep skiing 

fast away from your "Oldies", 

the fun doesn't have to stop 

when you hit 12! 

To find out more call Paul 

Zvegintzov on 01631-730401, 

before mid December , or try 

me on 07811-414269. During 

the winter call the hut between

See you in the Snow!!

— British Schoolboys Races, 2003 — 

Wengen 2003 Ingie Christophersen 

S ki 

racing beats everything. A bib on your chest, the starter's hand on your shoulder, the clock 

peeping the seconds, the exhilaration of speed, precision, technique; magic. 

The D.H.O-run British International Schoolboys Race, now in 

it's 6th year, and growing rapidly, is doing the British skiing 

world a great favour. From small beginnings, 40 boys 5 years 

ago, it has gained rapidly in importance and popularity and we 

should next year see a full contingent, 140 boys, which is the 

maximum allowed, under international rules, in any one race. 

Ski racing and your starting position is dependent on your BASS 

(British Alpine Seeding System) points and if you were unlucky 

in one set of races, or broke an arm, or the race was cancelled, 

you are at the mercy of your bad points. Now that the 

Schoolboys' races can be added to the BARSC, English and 

British races it gives everyone one more chance to climb up the 

points ladder, or down as the case might be, as the fewer points 

you have the better, the winner getting 0. 

This year the race was held in Wengen for the first time. The 

D.H.O's expertise can help Wengeners greatly, because the 

famous Lauberhorn Downhill is run by the FIS bringing outside 

Race Directors, T.D's and timing team. Wengen provides the onhill 

course workers, gate-keepers etc. Richard Berry, Chief of 

Championships, is keen to establish a good, solid basis from 

which to run the Schoolboys and other events in the future. 

Regrettably, Richard broke his Achilles tendon during the races 

and spent three days in Interlaken hospital, hence I am writing 

this article. He has now recovered completely and is already 

preparing for next year's race. 

The Wengeners are generous in allowing us to use the 

Lauberhorn and nothing is more spectacular for the boys than 

to launch themselves out of the Lauberhorn start hut, as used by 

the world's best and bravest downhillers and seen on TV all 

over the world. No wonder the parents' cameras were clicking 

overtime! "Johnny in the Lauberhorn Start Hut, 2003". 

This year we ran a successful giant slalom but the day of the 

slalom was a windy Wengen fohn day, the Wixi chair was off 

and there was no way for the competitors to get to the start. 

The race was cancelled and we all had to kick our heels free 

skiing on the Grindelwald side. 

Accommodation for everyone was in the Belvedere Hotel for the 

duration of the race. Parents and competitors thoroughly 

enjoyed their three days and this contributes much to the races' 

overall success. It generated great spirit and camaraderie and 

the parents, certainly, are very keen to come back next year. 

The prize giving was a veritable Aladdin's cave of shining 

silverware, and in spite of the truncated event we were able to 

give it all away. 

Next year promises to be excellent. Competitors, parents, team 

managers and teachers and ourselves cannot wait to come back. 

Aufwiederlucge Wengen. 

PS All results, from all British competitions, can be seen on the 

SnowsportGB website, www.britski.com from a very few 

minutes after the race is over.


— British Schoolboys Races, 2003 - 

Wengen 2003 Harry Lloyd (age 12) 

T 

his was my first big race and my nerves were wrecked. At 8.30 a.m, 109 racers, their skis, poles and 

rucksacks and mums, dads and teachers took the train to Scheidegg from Wengen. The weather 

wasn't good to start with and we had hail in our faces as we sat on the Wixi chair going to the top 

of the Lauberhorn. The organisers said we were unlucky as this was the first time the Schoolboys hadn't 

had sun and blue sky for their January races. 

You start in a hut like you see on 'Ski Sunday 1 . Everyone wears a 

bib with a number and when it gets near your turn, you put on 

your skis, get your poles and gloves ready, wipe your goggles and 

do knee bends to keep warm. Just before you start you go into the 

Lauberhorn Start Hut and stand just behind the special black 

flicker bar near your knees which starts recording your time. 

It was an amazing experience seeing all the people watching you 

like they would the professional skiers. There are four types of 

race: GS (Giant Slalom), Slalom, Super G and Downhill. In the 

Schoolboys we did GS and Slalom. You can't do Downhill until 

you're 18 and when my Mum saw part of the route she was 

pleased I'm still 12! 

We did GS on the first day in and out of red and then blue gates 

spaced out along the course. Boys who have been racing for a few 

years arc seeded and then others follow in points order. If you start 

well down the field it can be hard because the course gets rutty and 

your skis slip on the ice. If you train and work hard you can 

become as good as Billy Henson who won a silver medal, or 

Andrew Peiton who came 15th in the GS despite being a slalom 

specialist or Michael Pelton who won a silver cup for coming first 

I 

71 

in the under 10's 'Minis Race'. This was my first race and I can tell 

you it was great just to complete the course and a really fun experience. 

The D.H.O booked the whole of the Belvedere Hotel in Wengen 

which was very cosy. You get to meet many other people, both 

beginners and boys who have been racing a lot. The atmosphere is 

great and everybody is very friendly. You work hard during the day 

racing and training but in the evening you chill - all the boys of my 

age played 40/40, had snowball fights and did lots of tobogganing. 

On the second day, the Slalom was cancelled because hurricane 

force winds were forecast and when the organisers went to look, 

they were blown backwards! We were disappointed at first, but 

then we went tobogganing and had a really good day in the end. 

At the prize-giving, the D.H.O announced a new category for 

unseeded racers, so that even if you are a beginner you can win 

something. I was given a pair of ski gloves because I won the 

unseeded prize in my age group. My school, the Dragon, did very 

well. We flew home on the Wednesday after having said goodbye 

to Ingie. Why not enter next year if you are up to having loads of 

fun?

British Schoolgirls Races, 2003 

Flaine, France 2003 Sarah Robinson 

O 

ne minute it's summer then, suddenly, Christmas has been and gone and we're on our way 

back to Flaine for the Schoolgirls Races, sponsored once again by the D.H.O. Many of the 

girls, and parents and teachers too, look forward to the event as soon as the previous one 

has finished so it was a bunch of excited girls and hangers-on who arrived in Flaine on Saturday 

25 January. 

The weather was good and anticipation high, so a few keen souls 

headed straight to the slopes. It had snowed heavily the previous 

few days and there was plenty of powder to be found. Some of the 

enthusiasts were to be found later in the day covered in snow but 

with rosy cheeks and cheery grins, happy to be there. 

Sunday was training day with most of the girls looking for some 

miles under their skis before heading off to the slalom piste for pole 

training. This proved a novelty for the few who had never been 

through gates before, but it at least gave them the opportunity of 

some practice before the races themselves. Those who had recently 

been racing took the opportunity to practice their powder skills. 

Many D.H.O members took part. Alexandra Moore and Vicky &. 

Clare Tampin made up the D.H.O 'A' team with Elizabeth 

Francis-Venezia, Grace McCutchan and Eleanor Yeates forming a 

'B' team. The White twins, Erica and Jean, represented Millfield; 

Monica Gash and Catherine Pelton were two thirds of the BARSC 

team; Louisa Russell-Henry brought a team from her school in 

Chamonix; Hannah Bryans and Louise Douglass came with two 

teams from the Intercommunity School in Zurich; Isabel de 

Carvalho and her sisters made up a team representing Maidens and 

the Beaton girls, Claire & Chloe skied for St George's Edinburgh. 

Ingie would have been proud of them all! 

Monday was gloriously sunny and started with the giant slalom. 

The race was won by Louise Thomas from Sandown Park, 

followed by Jean White from Millfield and Stephanie Bream from 

Rydal Penrhos School in Wales. Erica White was fifth; Isabel de 

Carvalho eighth and Vicky Tampin ninth. Louisa Russell-Henry 

finished sixteenth, an excellent result for her putting her second in 

her age category and ahead of many others older than her. Jean and 

Erica's Millfield finished as best team, with the D.H.O 'A' team in 

fourth and the Carvalhos' Mardens in fifth. 

The most exciting part of the whole event, the parallel slalom, 

followed the giant slalom. This is the bit the girls enjoy most of all, 

and it brings out the team spirit in everyone. It's wonderful to 

watch too, and many supporters stay right to the end. Everything 

normally goes very slickly, the organisers now have it down to a 

fine art. But... this year the cloud decided to pay a visit up from the 

valley in the middle of the race so the Chief of Race was dispatched 

poste haste from the warmth of the Finish Hut, sans jacket and 

gloves, to conduct proceedings over the radio as the finish flags 

could not be seen from the start. Miraculously, the race continued 

virtually without a hitch and the aforementioned Chief of Race was 

rescued from certain frostbite when the cloud subsided back down 

the valley. The D.H.O 'B' team made it through the preliminary 

round only to be beaten by the 'A' team, who, in turn, were beaten 

by the BARSC team. The Carvalhos reached the semi-final, where 

they were beaten by the eventual winners, Sandown, who 

triumphed over the BARSC girls in the final. 


Isabel De Carualho, Mardens 

The weather on Tuesday, the slalom day, was not so kind. There was 

light snow and grey cloud most of the time but the girls coped well 

and the race was won by Helena Bray from Sandown Park, with 

Stephanie Bream in second place and Erica White in third. Jean 

White was fourth, Claire Beaton seventh and Isabel de Carvalho 

ninth. Louisa Russell-Henry had another good result, coming 

eleventh overall and second in her age category. Millfield was the 

best team, with BARSC, D.I 1,0 'A' and Mardens in fourth, fifth and 

sixth places respectively. 

Stephanie Bream claimed the prize for the best racer overall in the 

Combined, ahead of Jean White and Helena Bray with Erica White 

in fourth place. Claire Beaton and Isabel de Carvalho finished sixth 

and seventh with Vicky Tampin ninth and Louisa Russell-Henry 

tenth. Not surprisingly, the White girls led Millfield to the team title 

with the D.H.O 'A' team finishing third. The Carvalho girls were in 

fifth place and the BARSC team in seventh. Forty-six teams took 

part. 

Clare Beaton, 

St. George's, E

The prize for the best unregistered racer in the junior category was 

the most closely fought of all, with (Catherine Deal (I Icathfield, last 

year's winner) being pipped at the post by Kate Tilney Horn 

Wycombe Abbey. The tables were turned in the team event with 

Heathfield beating Wycombe Abbey to first place. 

This year, rhe races were organised for the first time by the Club des 

Sports and the meetings were held in the rather grand Auditorium 

in Flaine Foret. This was a great success and the prize-giving was 

much more of an 'event' with music heralding the medal winners 

onto the stage. The Club des Sports did us proud. 

As well as the D.H.O, the Kandahar and Ski Club of Great Britain 

supported the races, which were organised by The Ladies' Ski Club. 

Atomic, Fat Face, Lilly-whites, Salomon, Scott USA, Snow+Rock, 

SnowRider and Volkl all gave fantastic prizes. Their continued 

support is much appreciated.

THE 60th INFERNO 

RACE, MttRREN 

Max Davies 

A 

record number of competitors, 18 in all, represented the D.H.O in this year's Inferno. Most of us 

met up two or three days early for our usual training sessions., even though conditions were far from 

ideal. Bad visibility and - would you believe it - heavy snow made life very difficult but we managed 

to do quite a bit of hard skiing. 

Sunshine and blue, blue skies greeted us on race day and the 

mountains were resplendent. About a metre of snow had fallen 

overnight and making the racetrack was a difficult business. As 

usual the Murren organisation was brilliant and it all looked 

wonderful. There was, however, an avalanche danger, and to 

avoid this the racetrack was altered to run down the bottom of 

the Engetal, well below the second traverse. This gave us a stiff 

uphill walk to the Obere Hubel and 1 think most of the team, 

like me, found this particularly painful. Not only is it a long 

climb, but in the back of one's mind was the knowledge that 

there was still the other uphill path to do on the Maulerhubel. 

Because this was the 60th anniversary of the Inferno-Rennen the 

finish was moved to the bottom of the Almendhubcl in the 

centre of Murren. The marquees were up, the Guggi Band was 

playing [if that's what you call it!] and a wonderful festival 

atmosphere greeted the competitors. The town was crowded 

and the D.H.O was well represented by its supporters led by 

Paul and Marie Zvegintzov and Guy and Virginia Clayton. 

After the race, Stephen Davies and Michael Schaapman 

Altogether it was a great day. All the team finished apart from 

Michael Oliver who, very unfortunately, was injured in training. 

Three people were awarded medals in a race that, despite the 

fact that it did not go all the way to Lauterbrunnen, was the 

most strenuous and difficult I can remember. Our beer was well 

earned and I congratulate everyone who represented the D.H.O 

so creditably. The club can be proud of them and the Kandahar 

of Murren had better watch out - we're getting better at it! 

Led by Jeremy Howard, this year's team clubbed together and 

commissioned a trophy from a woodcarver in Interlaken [see 

photograph) to be presented to the racer, chosen by his/her 

peers, deemed to have shown the "Best Endeavour in the Race". 

This year it was presented to Maureen Fanshawe. In the best 

tradition of the Club this trophy is to be kept above the bar in 

the Falkcn by kind permission of Sina Cova.

In December 2003, The Mannlichen cable-car opens for the fifth successful Winter season from 

the new station in the middle of the village of Wengen! 

The ride takes only 5 min! - 10 min after leaving your apartment you can start 

skiing in the direction of Grindelwald or Kleine Scheidegg! A short ride up - to a longer ski 

day! Carving, boarding and skiing the whole day, until the last check of the slopes....and then 

relax, the cable-car brings you down to the village without strees or overcrowded slopes. 

Enjoy the mountains all day! 

New on the Mannlichen from December 2003: 4-Seat-Chairlift Lager with covers! 

You will have the opportunity to discover the new Eggboden, Distelboden and Lager which all 

lead directly down to the new chairlift. The winter-hiking trail to Kleine Scheidegg will also be 

more comfortable, with less slope-crossings around the chairlift Lager! 

It is not only super skiing, fantastic boarding, expert carving or beautiful hiking which makes 

the difference. Great and first class holidays become an even greater experience if nature plays 

along. Our nature - our mountains, they are with you every day. 

The Mannlichen cable-car wishes you happy skiing in Wengen!

Summer Training Camp 

— 2002 — 

Max Rankin 

H 

aving skied since the age of three with my family, I was extremely excited 

when the opportunity of the D.H.O summer camp came up. My family and I 

go to Wengen every year and so the prospect of going somewhere different 

was fantastic. 

As I didn't know anyone else who was going on the course and, because I had not done any proper racing before, inevitably I was 

quite nervous. However, everyone there was extremely nice and it didn't matter that I wasn't as experienced as them as the 

instructor was very good and he taught me a lot. 

There was about three hours skiing every morning, and then we either had lunch up the mountain or we went back to the hotel in 

the village. After lunch there was 1-2 hours of fitness training with the instructor, and then we were free to go and do what we 

wanted. We either went down to the village, played tennis or the trainers had organised something for us. 

The hotel was good and the house mother (Sarah Iloyle) was very friendly. After being slightly apprehensive about going, by the 

end of the camp I couldn't wait until the next year.

Ski Touring 

Engelberg 5th - 11th April 2003 

Ian Carmichael 

had never been to Engclberg before, and it was a delightful surprise to arrive by train from 

Zurich in 2 hours to greeted by a wonderful small and sunny town surrounded on virtually all 

sides by well covered snowy mountains. 

I was first to arrive and when I could find no one booked into 

the Bellevue Hotel uncertain that I had the right resort! 

Detective work eventually determined that everyone was 

expected later in the day at another Hotel. I knew no one from 

the group, other than Clive Mitchell, whom I had met on a 3day 

ski test in Zermatt the previous November. So virtually 

everyone I was to meet was new, but I was also well aware that 

a colossal number of years of experience in the D.H.O Touring 

group would be present, which demanded the best behaviour. 

First to arrive was Sarah Edmonds, giving a definite air of 

confidence and authority and by 7.00pm the group consisted of 

Paddy Hollington, Paddy Orr, Sarah Edmonds, Clive Mitchell, 

John Wright, John Rigby, Sally Ireland, myself and D.H.O guide 

Adolf Schlunegger. A friendlier bunch you could not meet. 

At supper, there were great tales of how this comfortable Hotel 

was completely out of character for the Group, who were used 

to mountain huts for days on end. Where temperatures inside 

were below zero at night, no access to lights putting Loos out of 

the question and a mass of unwashed bodies stacked together in 

vast dormitories. One member of the party, John Wright, even 

claimed to be carrying 6 bottles of washing up liquid to keep 

standards high! I savoured my single room that night and as a 

new boy believed this quite erroneous description. Actually, 1 

had fallen into the hands of a group expecting nothing but the 

best quality residences, at least a hot shower each day, good 

food, wine, and party games coupled with much banter. 

From the sunny heat of the previous day, we woke to low fog 

and much lower temperature. We viewed the outside world 

with certain unwillingness and courage was needed to venture 

past Breakfast. This was provided by Paddy Hollington, who 

regaled us with tales of her early days, and first sweet heart, and 

many continuous years of attendance at this very resort. We 

were gentlemen enough not to keep notes of the tales that followed. 

However Adolf, had organised a downhill piste warm up and, 

after an initial run in the fog of the middle slopes, took us to the 

highest point at Klein Titlis 3,028m. via cablccar. The ride up 

took us through and above the cloud into a startling blue and 

white world far removed from the valley floor. So we crammed 

a few pisted runs in bright sunlight, but a rising strong and 

numbing wind fairly soon pushed clouds up the mountain. 

With the poor visibility we were forced to return to base and 

our warm and comfortable hotel. 

Monday 

The next day snow and low cloud delayed our departure. At 

midday the clouds thinned and so we took the cablccar and two 

chair lifts to the Jochpass ridge 2,207m. The clouds cleared to 

reveal perfect snow cover, enough to cause excitement at the 

skiing prospects. But due to depth of snow, the lifts weren't 

working. So we donned our skins for the first time and climbed 

steadily for one and a half hours up the unmarked piste towards 

the Jochstock 2,564 m. With thinning cloud we arrived at a 

ridge overlooking the Jochpass and stopped for a quick snack.

As we admired the view, the wind rose steadily drawing clouds 

up from the valley floor. We removed skins and skied down, our 

success lay in having created skiing for ourselves to the envy of 

others who got no skiing that day and went in for a proper 

lunch. No one was keen to leave to face the elements again, but 

at Adolf's insistence we did. In the complete 'white-out', it was 

difficult to know how he managed to guide us to within a few 

yards of our intended destinations. But he did, and continued to 

do so for the rest of the week in a dazzling display of 

professional guiding. 

Tuesday 

A sunny day created much enthusiasm and we set out to return 

to the Jochpass ridge of the previous day. We passed over the 

same slopes via cable car and chairs, this time being able to see 

a beautifully pristine snow covered world on the way, which 

made up for the disappointments of the previous day. 

From the ridge we skied down and past the Engstenalp chair 

and off the piste map to a frozen lake the Engstlensee. Here we 

donned skins, and tramped for half an hour across the flat 

corner of the lake, whilst watching an Ibex family being 

harassed by a fox. He appeared to be making continuous 

circular tracks in the hope of driving one of the agile creatures 

of the edge of the nearest cliff. Having made the lakeshore we 

set off up the Schafftal Valley into a silent world of spectacular 

mountain scenery. 

We climbed for 4 hours with a break for lunch, which also 

entailed long discussion asto which valley in the far distance 

contained Wengen. Clivc Mitchell produced a bottle of 

Fendant, but the game was up when it appeared he had only 

brought one glass. Sarah Edmonds worried incessantly how her 

hat looked; she liked it but daughter Anna didn't and had 

banned its use. We all agreed it was wonderful. 

© 


The ski down was glorious in the most perfect snow, producing 

parallel tracks which convinced us all that we were better skiers 

than we really were. John Rigby stayed at the back to pick up 

stragglers, was it because he was out of breath, or that he 

wanted his perfectly carved turns to be noticed as he caught up? 

By the time wc had tramped the ice on the Lake and climbed to 

the Engstenalp Chair, we knew we had had a good physical day 

in the best surroundings. But even better was the run down 

from Trubsee, in wonderful snow conditions on a wide curving 

track giving the boys a marvellous chance to show off in front 

of the girls. The latter unanimously decided the average male 

age had suddenly dropped very quickly. Near the bottom we 

stopped at the Bergrestaurant Untertrubsee, and had such a 

good time we missed the last bus and had to walk back to the 

Hotel! 

Wednesday 

The next morning we reluctantly abandoned our sociable hotel 

to face a journey to our hut in a world obscured by low cloud 

and falling snow. 

We drove for an hour to the hamlet of Fell via Wolfenschiessen, 

where we piled into a small private cablecar which took us up 

to Bannalp, which whilst at some distance from Engleberg is the 

next main valley on the north east side. From here we skied 

down to our Hut, the Berggasthaus Urnerstaffel. This was a 

much larger and grander affair than had been suggested in the 

idle conversation at the Hotel bar on previous evenings. Even 

better we found we were between winter and summer seasons 

with an empty hut with a choice of single, double, or 

dormitory accommodation. There were showers and hot water, 

a well stocked bar, and plenty of good food. What luxury, these 

Continentals appear to know a thing or two. 

Within half an hour our skins were on and we started up the 

middle ridge in pristine snow, with cloud now rising above us, 

and with an increasing temperature encouraged us to strip to 

minimum clothing for the first time, such a contrast to previous 

days. Our target was the Bannalper-Schonegg Ridge 2,250 m, 

the route summer walkers take on a full days hike to Engelberg 

in the far distance. 

We passed through interesting land marks, Rosboden (Horse 

Meadow) a lovely softly curved hill with little exposed rock; 

SteinDorf (Stone Village) where fascinating and variedly shaped 

large rocks pierced through the snow. In the final event we 

made it only to within some 200 meters of the ridge when Sally 

Ireland's binding irreparably broke for walking purposes next 

to Church Rock at the end of the Stone Village. We were forced 

to return, skiing down by a different route pre-planned by 

Adolf, which involved several interesting detours and curves 

around small cliffs and large boulders on the East Side of the 

valley. Then minus, the unfortunate Sally, we then donned skis 

again and descended to the Bannalpsee lake in ever improving 

weather, followed by a very pleasant trek back through fir trees 

and evening sunshine to the hut.

The day was rounded off with a splendid Champagne evening 

given by Paddy Hollington. This did not help her as the team 

showed no favours ensuring that she lost in the final of Liar 

Dice. 

Thursday 

Snow fell as we set out to climb via another route to the 

Bannalper-Schonegg Ridge. Eight Army lads passed us 

proceeding downwards, who were to join us later back at our 

hut. We reached the Schoncgg ridge, rewarded by glorious 

views in all directions, and climbed higher past beautiful 

windblown ice and snow formations. Via a narrow track with 

the steepest of cliffs, we reached a spot 100 metres below the 

summit of the Chaiserstuel 2,440m on skis, and climbed to the 

rounded summit on foot. Here we had lunch, and played guess 

the mountain name with the 360-degree vista. Adolf appeared 

to know every one, which to us seemed to be the whole of 

Switzerland. It was certainly a spectacular view, well worth the 

four and half-hours effort to reach it. 

As we finished lunch the cloud rose to meet us; a scramble onto 

skis and a steep and challenging drop to the valley floor. 5 

minutes into our descent, Adolf called a stop as our visibility 

had progressively disappeared to nothing. We waited for almost 

half an hour, but the cloud did not change and so we were faced 

with putting skins back on and climbing out. What had taken 

five minutes to descend now took 25 minutes to climb out, back 

onto the ridge, along this and back to where we had reached it 

earlier in the day. We could sec nothing, but despite the gloom 

and the distance Adolf had brought us expertly back to the very 

spot of our starting point completely by compass. 

The wind rose and with it the snow so that we found we were 

skiing downwards into a most uncomfortable and freezing 


world. We were glad to return to the warmth of our hut, which 

we were unable to see on our return until we were within 100 

metres. 

This evening was made particularly special by the hut 

management who produced a highly alcoholic 

Urncrstaffelcocktail comprising (at the very least) Italian 

Prosecco Extra Dry, Orange Graini and Peche Liqueur, all 

elegantly served in fluted glasses. The evening descended into a 

riotous game of "Oh Hell", who was the eventual winner no 

one can remember. 

Friday 

Our last day, and a sunny one - what luck. We started early, 

climbing the right hand side of the valley towards the 

Hasenstock at 2,720 m, first in shadow and then in bright sun 

which required stripping down to bare essentials. As wc 

climbed higher in fresh new snow the terrain became more 

perfect and beautiful and the new snow layer deeper and 

deeper. Wc zig-zagged up lovely slopes through rocks each 

capped with metres of snow. 

After three and a half hours, we came to a small, pretty but 

unnamed peak with a sharp cliff on one side and a curved bowl 

leading to the Hasenstock. Our last lunch could not have been 

in a more perfect of settings. Finally wc set off to return, skiing 

through the most perfect and deepest snow of the holiday, 

around wide sloping terrain giving a multitude of choices of 

route. We returned sadly directly to our hut, where we donned 

skins and full backpacks to walk out of our valley and to the 

lift to take us back more than reluctantly to the real world. 

A happy and satisfied band.


Visit to 3 (Fighter) Squadron 

Royal Air Force, Cottesmore 

O ne 

David Price 

of the most enjoyable outcomes of the publication in the 2001 and 2002 

Journals of Freddie Whitelaw's account of the life of Douglas McMillan 

occurred on October 29th 2002 during half-term. 

Squadron Leader 'Bob' Wilkie, Operations Director of 3 

(Fighter) Squadron was one of the many people who assisted 

Freddie in his research, and was especially interested since he 

had recently written and published the Squadron history. 

Having sent copies of the 2001 and 2002 Journals to add to 

their historical records he kindly invited my son Charles and I 

to spend a day at RAF Cottesmore in Rutland where the 

Squadron, currently equipped with Harrier GR7 aircraft, is 

based. 

Regrettably, torrential rain began on the journey to the 

Midlands and the low visibility once we had arrived dented our 

hopes somewhat. On arrival at the Main Gate photo security 

passes were obtained and after driving around the inner 

perimeter road with numerous 'Green Goddess' fire engines 

parked nearby, we found Bob awaiting us. 

We were taken into one of the secure briefing and 

communication rooms for a presentation on the Squadron's 

history and current status. Maps of Iraq on the wall were 

already marked with "The WAR is Here!". Afterwards we had 

a tour of the squadron's own Operations and Crew Briefing 

rooms before lunch at the Officers Mess. 

A lengthy tour of the main repair hangar followed and Charles 

was allowed into the seat of Wing Commander Atha's personal 

Harrier GR7 with the strict instruction: "Don't pull the 

black and yellow ring between your legs young man, otherwise 

the ejector seat rockets will fire, you'll make a large hole in the 

hangar roof, receive a headache and the boss won't be best 

pleased!" It was interesting to see the many skills, mechanical 

and electronic, required to carry out the various first line 

serving and repair tasks. 

Subsequently, we had a lengthy tour of the stations control 

room facilities and had the functions of serried ranks of radar 

screens linked to the RAF's national control system explained 

to us. Upstairs in the visual control area, its was obvious that 

with the cloud base at 200 feet, nothing much would be seen. 

However, we were able to see the rapid progress towards us of 

a RxA.F Jaguar fighter from an East Anglian airfield, first on the 

approach radar and then, as it came down through the clouds, 

headlight blazing, on a fast 'overshoot' from the east end of the 

runway. A brief glimpse before it climbed and disappeared back 

into the cloud, but very thrilling. 

All the station personnel were extremely friendly and very 

supportive of one young man's keenness to join the RAF in due 

course. Thanks once again to Bob Wilkie for arranging the 

visit.

The 1960 Inferno 

Alastair Drew 

W 

hen I read reports on The Inferno in the D.H.O Journal each year, I am reminded 

of how fundamentally that race has altered in the past forty years or so. I recently 

came across a cutting I'd kept from the 'Daily Mail' dated Murren, Wednesday 

February 11th 1960. Hence, rather like the Oldest Member in P.G. Wodehouse books I 

am going to bore you with an "It's not what it was in my day" story. The headline reads 

as follows: 

"Monty Keeps His Eye on the Inferno Men' ! 

"Lt Darel Carey of the Royal Horse Guards, one of Britain's 

finest racers, is captaining a team of officers to compete in the 

Inferno, the Alps' longest and toughest ski race. With him are 

Captain Ian de Sales La Terriere, 11th Hussars, and 

Lieutenant Alastair Drew of the 60th Rifles, KRRC. The 

Inferno's full course from the 9,800ft Schilthorn summit (to 

which the competitors have to climb at dawn) down to the 

village of Lauterhrunnen at 2,700 ft...is more than seven miles 

long... there is no nicely prepared track such as modern races 

invariably have...makes the race a test of physical fitness and 

stamina as much as skiing skill". 

And you all know the rest, or rather lack of it, as some of the 

course is flat, and some even uphill. In 1960 Murren had no 

cable car and immediately we have the first huge difference 

between then and now. A three hour climb on skins to the start, 

and a horrible nerve wracking three hours at that, what with 

pre-race nerves and the climb. One had to traverse some 

seriously steep slopes. Where the snow was soft, it was 

exhausting. Where it was hard, one was in constant danger of 

losing one's edges and disappearing into the valley below, for in 

those days the skins were held on with straps that went round 

the ski, thus destroying the grip of the edges. And if it were 

breakable crust, one just wanted to die, if only to escape the 

journey down which would be even worse then the one up! 

The second major difference was the course. It was not only 

"unpisted" but totally virgin for the most part. There were no 

controls, and in fact there was sometimes a case for a high 

traversing route before one got to the Kanoncnrohr, rather than 

the more normal one following the bottom of the glacier's 

valley. I took the wrong one! (At least there was no 

geschmozzle start!) 

The third major change was equipment. One was not on one's 

normal skis. The stiff long wooden racing skis of the day 

tended to sink without trace off piste. Slalom skis, which sank 

the fastest and deepest, were 205 to 210cm long, and my 

downhill ones 220, length alone making turning difficult. 

And the long thong bindings gripped one's heel to the ski, 

making the climb even more impossible than the descent. So we 

Ian de Sales La Terriere, Alastair Drew, Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery, Julia Cavey and Darel Cavey, Murren, February \ 960.

all went and hired the new fangled metal skis which were so 

much easier in powder. If one put the same effort into a turn on 

them as on one's wooden skis, one turned through 360 degrees! 

This is, or anyway was, the race where to compete, rather than 

to win, was paramount. I can't remember how we fared, other 

than that we were under very senior orders to finish which we 

safely did. The article in the paper continued: 

"The three Britons' preparation for the event is taking place 

under the eye of Viscount Montgomery who is back in his 

favourite winter resort and no less critical because the team is 

no longer under his command." 

As if that were not enough, he was in a double act with Sir 

Arnold Lunn who was also there, and we were all in the same 

hotel, the Eiger. With the two most revered figures in the 

military and winter sports worlds both breathing down our 

necks, not to mention the Inferno itself, we ski-ing soldiers 

found things somewhat daunting! 

And thereby hung another tale. I had been commissioned from 

Sandhurst at the end of December 1959, and just had time to 

compete in the Army Ski Championships held in St Moritz in 

the last week of January 1960 before reporting for the first time 

to my regiment. Due to others' mishaps I found myself selected 

for the Army Inter-Services team, and then for the Inferno (after 

some extra training in Klosters, en route). I tried to say I was 

unavailable because my leave had run out and must get to my 

regiment. "Nonsense" declared the Field Marshal who had 

come with us from St Moritz. Thus my future Commanding 

Officer was told I would 'Report when Ready' so to speak. 

What a start to regimental life! From that moment I was 

militarily doomed, and to make matters even worse, ski-ing was 

at that time considered a dilettante's sport; downhill all the way. 

But then I was already a member of the Downhill Only Club, 

wasn't I? 

So next time you young things clatter out of the cable car at the 

top of the Schilthorn, refresh yourselves in 'James Bond's' 

restaurant, nervously put on your skis and slide down for the 

start of the Inferno, think on these things! 

PS: 

FM Montgomery mellowed somewhat with age, was genuinely 

interested in the young, and fired questions rather than orders 

in his retirement (tho' there were orders too!). But he 

remembered one's answers for ever, so woe betide you if he 

discovered later that you tried to bluff or were wrong! We knew 

him as a family, and I am privileged to say he was something of 

a friend. He also adopted my sister Valerie that year in the Alps 

as a sort of ADC/liaison officer. (She was then, or later, 

secretary of the D.IT.O). To my embarrassment he pulled his 

rank again several years later. I was on a course at Netheravon 

when he summoned me to tea. When I said I wasn't free, he 

replied "What's the point of being a Field Marshal if I can't see 

you when I want to." So off I had to troop to the commandant 

with the same sort of tale!

D.H.O. Lady 

A tribute to the late Angela de Klee 

Introduction by David Price 

many decades Sir Arnold Lunn was the brilliantly erudite Editor of The British Ski 

Year Book published by The Alpine Ski Club and The Ski Club of Great Britain. 

'Arnie' viewed the whole skiing world and nothing missed his eagle eye. 

Each issue usually contained witty and occasionally mildly 

barbed correspondence between him as founder of the 

Kandahar and Kenneth Foster as joint founder of the D.H.O. It 

was and still is "a good read". In the 1951 edition's 'Review of 

the Year' he wrote: "D.H.O Lady. On April 13th I was having 

a quiet cup of tea with Ernst Gertsch at the Scheidegg when a 

lady wearing a D.H.O. badge suddenly greeted me. "I've been 

up to some of your old pranks Mr Lunn". Vainly I searched the 

memories of 63 years of blameless life to find some clue to the 

kind of 'prank' which Miss Angela Stormonth-Darling might 

have wished to repeat. "I've just crossed the Eigerjoch from the 

Jungfraujoch" she added." 

The 'old prank' Angela referred to was that one day in May 

1924 Lunn with Walter Amstutz and two others, had left the 

Eigergletscher Station, climbed up the side of the Eigcr glacier 

and then using ski for the greater part of the next stage, reached 

the North Eigerjoch (11,945 ft; 3614m) some eight hours later. 

When most visitors to the Scheideg look up the Eigergletscher 

it's huge boulders of ice and deep crevasses seem awesome and 

virtually unclimbable. The possibility of ski-ing down it 

probably never occurs at all. However Oskar Gertsch had 

waited patiently for the chance. By April 1951 a succession of 

heavy snowfalls that season made a ski descent feasible. Angela 

just happened to be around and went with Oskar on an 

impulse. Arnold Lunn described theirs as a "brilliant 

expedition". Ken Foster in the 1951 D.II.O Journal 

congratulated Angela and Oskar on their "courage and 

endurance" but not "their discretion". He felt they had treated 

the obvious risks far too lightly! 

Angela described the expedition in both the 1951 D.H.O 

Journal and BSYB. The text is very similar, but rather longer in 

the BSYB. Perhaps Ken Foster's acerbic view of risk made him 

wield the editorial scissors much too heavily on Angela's 

occasionally romantic prose! My additions to the original 

Journal article are in italics. 

The Eigcrjoch on Skis 

Angela in 1951. 

"At the foot of the South Ridge of the Eiger lies an icy saddle 

known as the North Eigerjoch. It has been reached on skis from 

the Eiger Glacier but on the other side bare cliffs drop steeply 

down to the Grindelwald Glaciers over a thousand feet below. 

A long arete stretches in in a semicircle above the head of the 

Eiger Glacier and becomes the South Eigerjoch where it 

approaches the Monch. This point can be easily reached on skis 

from the Ober Monchjoch (to the south between the Monch 

summit and the Trugberg) and, at a height of 12,200ft, provides 

a variety of magnificent views. The arete between the South and 

North Eigerjoch's was described in 1859 by Sir Leslie Stephens 

as " a long ridge of snow, sharp as the blade of a knife, playfully 

alternated with great rocky teeth, striking up through their icy 

covering like the edge of a saw".

The Stephens party reached the North Eigerjoch but returned to 

the South Eigerjoch via a route other than the ridge. But, if once 

traversed with skis, a run full of interest and thrills lies ahead, 

down over the Eiger icefall and the untouched expanses of snow 

which spread between the Eiger and the Monch to Scheidegg. 

Every member of the D.H.O must have gazed not once but hundreds 

of times at these tempting north slopes just above the "Oh 

God" run. 

On Friday April 13th (an auspicious date!) Oskar Gertsch and 

I set out from the Jungfraujoch (station at 11,332ft). We had 

intended to leave at 5am in order to enjoy the run down the 

Eiger glacier before midday if possible, when there would be 

less danger of starting an avalanche. At 5 o'clock, however, 

there was a strong wind blowing. By 7.30 the wind had dropped 

considerably and we decided to start knowing it would always 

be possible to change our route and ski down to Grindelwald. 

In beautiful sunshine we climbed over the Ober Monchjoch 

{11,906 ft) and skied down a short distance before climbing up 

in a northerly direction to the South Eigerjoch, which we 

reached just before 9am. Here, from a height of about 12,200 

ft, we beheld a variety of views each more glorious than its 

neighbour. Behind us lay the vast untouched expanse of the 

Ewigschneefeld, the Wetterhorn and Schreckhorn. Out on our 

left the Monch, on our right the Eiger. Distance seemed without 

meaning - range after range of mountains stretched endlessly in 

every direction, cold and glittering in the sunlight. 

Between us and the North Eigerjoch saddle at the foot of the 

Eiger's south ridge, lay the arete we had to cross. We took off 

our ski, Oskar fixed a long strap binding to mine so that I could 

carry them across my back. He attached his to the straps of his 

rucksack like a St Andrews Gross. These were the best methods 

we could devise but not entirely satisfactory; I was more 

frightened of dropping my ski than anything else. 

We roped together on a 100-metre rope and for the next four 

and a half hours we climbed up around each of the jagged teeth 

of the ridge and down again, often cutting every step. In the 

hollows the loose snow was sometimes more than a foot deep; 

impossible to know whether it was firm underneath, ice or loose 

rock. Often the very crest of the ridge curled far outwards in a 

cornice, extravagant and weird, towards the Grindelwald 

glaciers hundreds of feet below on our right. 

The edge of the arete was often so sharp, narrower than the sole 

of my boot, that it seemed to me a slip by one of us would bring 

catastrophe to both. Oskar, who started in front, turned to me 

and said "If the snow doesn't hold me, you must immediately 

jump over the other side of the ridge". I had a momentary 

qualm, but it was impossible to be frightened with Oskar on the 

other end of the rope. He, of course, never put a foot wrong and 

on the one occasion when I slipped he was quite prepared, as I 

knew he would be. Even when I was actually falling, before 

feeling the rope taughtening and suddenly jerking me to a stop, 

I never doubted it. He was very patient and while I was leading 

always gave me plenty of time to pick my way. There was a 

wind, not bitter but cold enough to be unpleasant. The ski were 

our chief discomfort, they seemed in the way on every 


0 

movement. Twice on the steepest part of the traverse Oskar 

took mine while 1 descended 30 or 40 yards to find a safe hold. 

He then let both pairs of ski and sticks down on a rope and 

followed himself. Across the last stretch, just before the saddle, 

the ice was very treacherous and we had to use a piton to secure 

the rope. 

At last, about 1.30pm, we arrived at the North Eigerjoch 

(11,857 ft). Although the ridge is about a mile long as measured 

on the map, it had taken us four and a half hours to cross. Here 

there was a little shelter and, turning our backs on the precipices 

which fall to the Eismeer we put on our ski with chilled fingers 

and ran down over breakable crust to the head of the 

Eigerglacier. Linniger described this as "almost unique among 

the glaciers of the Alps for its gigantic crevasses and ice 

pinnacles of marvellous form and variety". Whilst we did pass 

between some gigantic crevasses, after this winter of 

exceptionally heavy snow falls many had been smoothed over 

and Oskar found the way down without any difficulty. The 

abundance of snow had increased the avalanche danger and we 

saw a small one fall from an overhang on the Eiger. 

Once past these dangers, we stopped for a rest and something 

to eat. From our spot we could clearly see the Scheidegg hotel, 

the railway line down to Wengenalp and the minute specks 

skiing the Lauberhorn shoulder. The Laubcrhorn and the 

Mannlichen looked insignificant and Plum Pudding Hill a mere 

pimple! We put silver wax on the ski to cope with the heavy 

snow and continued down over the broken icefall until we came 

to the Eigergletscher station. At Sheidegg we stopped for a drink 

and at teatime were back in Wengen. Incidentally, no one 

believed me when I told them where we had come from! 

When one tries to recall an adventure of this nature the hours 

of discomfort and monotony seem shrouded in a general sense 

of satisfaction. It is difficult to give a fair picture of one's 

actual feelings at the time but, in the presence of forces unseen 

and mysteriously powerful one realises one's insignificance and 

the terrible splendour of life".

Club News 

Fund Raising for the 

Wengen Apartment 


upport for the campaign to raise funds for "A Home for the D.H.O" was 

remarkable. The total raised was £74,566 of which £55,080 came by direct 

contributions and £19,486 from other events. 

We were confident that if fund raising events were organized 

members would not fail us, which says a great deal about their 

feelings towards their Club. A project of this size was certainly 

going to be hard work. The recipe for success was simple; round 

up lively people with a track record of putting on good parties 

and ask them to do something special for the Club. No one 

pleaded lack of time or over commitment. Regrettably, the 

situation with foot and mouth disease made it impossible to 

proceed with events planned for the Midlands and North. Our 

programme was extensive, and relied on the reputation of 

D.H.O people for enjoying themselves. 

The first event was at London's Alpine Club whose ambience 

made the D.H.O feel at home. A talk on climbing Aconcagua by 

Justin Wateridge of Steppes East complemented the evening. 

The organisers, Rachel Maskey and Eden Davies provided a 

delicious buffet supper on a chill November evening. With the 

help of an auction, £2,015 was raised which got our efforts off 

to an excellent start. 

The high point, which attracted a capacity crowd of 130 

members and guests was the Dinner and Auction of Promises at 

the Imperial Hotel, Russell Square. Sarah Edmonds and her 

daughter Anna Rankin took this on, applied their own magic 

and everyone was on top of their form. 

4, 

The evening began with a champagne reception kindly 

provided by Christoph Gcrtsch and Karli Fuchs which set the 

right atmosphere for what was to come. The secret of a 

promise auction is not to start before the bidders are 

sufficiently medicated to have lost their inhibitions but to end 

before the time when their bank manager will fail to recognise 

their signature. As the evening went on members' generosity 

was erupting spontaneously as more and more people offered 

another treasure to bid for. My sincere apologies if the record 

keeping did not keep up with some of these last minute 

additions. The auction was kept just this side of a riot by our 

very skilfull auctioneer, Didi Edmonds who coaxed bids out of 

the air. Eventually we had to call a halt, or no one would have 

got home. The Walduck family were marvellous hosts, an ideal 

venue and excellent food and wine. The evening raised 

£12,411! 

Max and Eden Davies held a party at their home, The Old 

Vicarage at East Dene, Sussex. Justin Wateridge presented 

'Following the course of the Mekong to its source in Tibet'. 

Fascinating as the lecture was, I am sure the real attraction was 

Max 8c Eden's wonderful garden. A hog was roasted, the sun 

shone down, everyone had a great time and the event raised a 

superlative £2,025.

Annabel Brunner and Edward Perrott organised the East 

Anglian event, a wine tasting in the Old Kitchens at Trinity 

College, Cambridge. A member, Jeremy Fairbrother, the Bursar 

at the college provided the venue, Alex Riley dispensed his 

knowledge, a raffle of the cream of Guy Clayton's cellar was 

held which helped bring the total for the evening to a 

substantial £590. 

When I asked Norman Freund to organise a raffle it seemed a 

simple enough thing to do. Members, it appeared, were falling 

over themselves to donate handsome prizes; you buy some 

raffle books, do a little advertising, hey presto, you have a 

raffle. The real world isn't like that. Raffles arc public events, 

rather like general elections; they need scrutineers and be 

authorised by public bodies. It took a lot of drive to organise 

and anyone other than Norman would have rated the trauma 

as a major life event. Needless to say, the raffle was a great 

success and the magnificent sum of £2,445 was raised.

The total raised by the campaign was £74,566. It was possible 

to fund the purchase of the Breithorn apartment for £130,000 

by adding the Benson Browning Bursary and a significant 

contribution from the Hepworth Trust. The Club will be 

reassured to know that our present support for racing and 

training can continue because of a generous donation from the 

Walduck family to this Trust. We were extremely fortunate with 

our timing; had we been in the market this year rather than last, 

we would have needed an extra £15,000, due to sterling's 

depreciation against the Swiss franc. 

Through members generosity, the D.H.O have a property which 

secures our place in Wengen. It provides comfortable 

accommodation for the Wengen representative and as a summer 

apartment for the use of members will broaden the Club's 

service. The following is a complete list of the people whose 

direct contribution totalled £55,080. It would be wrong to 

specify individual sums, but as many appeals do, I have grouped

Hon Treasurer's Report 

Duncan Lonie 

The accounts for the year to June 2003 now follow the standard company format. Whilst complete copies of the accounts will be 

available at the AGM the essential pages are the balance sheet and trading profit and loss account which are published here. 

The accounts show a substantial increase in turnover, which is due to the extended activities of the racing and training camps. Sadly 

the disastrous snow conditions last Christmas led to some serious losses on that camp, but the overall loss in R 6c T was 

approximately £3,000. This was covered by a donation of £4,000 from the Hepworth Trust. 

Subscription income this year increased slightly, but not sufficiently to cover our costs. No substantial losses have been recorded 

in our accounts because no rent was paid for the Breithorn apartment. We are therefore indebted to the Hepworth Trust this year 

for a total of £9,000. I hope the members will therefore appreciate the need for the increase in the subscription level for the 

coming season.

Angela de Klee (1928-2003) 

Angela de Klee (nee Stormonth-Darling) died on 30 January 

2003 aged 74. She was born in March 1928. After the Second 

World War, with her hopes for a place at university negated by 

the numbers of ex-servicemen, she worked in Europe as a 

secretary for the UN and OECD and spent her winters as a 

resident representative for the travel agencies Thomas Cook and 

Inghams in various Alpine ski resorts, including Scheidegg, 

becoming a member of the D.H.O in 1951. 

In 1950 she climbed Monte Rosa on skis and the Matterhorn 

but her most remarkable ski-mountaineering achievement was 

to be involved in the first ski traverse of the Eigerjoch, the 2km 

ridge which stretches in a 12,000-foot-high semicircle between 

the Eiger and the Munch. 

On Friday 13 April 1951 Angela, aged 23, and the late Oskar 

Gertsch set out from the South Eigerjoch, carrying their skis; she 

described it in the 1951 Journal as "tightrope walking at a 

tremendous height; the arete was so sharp that the edge was 

often less than the sole of my boot". Roped together, if the snow 

didn't hold and one of them fell, the other had to be ready to 

save them by jumping off the opposite side of the ridge. Four 

hours later, having reached the North Eigerjoch, they were able 

to ski down the Eiger Glacier (winter of record snowfall having 

covered its crevasses) to Scheidegg, where, coincidentally, the 

pioneer of ski-mountaineering, Sir Arnold Lunn, was having tea 

and witnessed the entire descent, describing it as "a brilliant 

expedition". 

This first ski traverse of the F.igcrjoch made headlines in that 

weekend's Sunday Express. The Alpine Ski Club (ladies then 

ineligible for membership) called it "the outstanding skimountaineering 

feat of the year ... a pioneer expedition of the 

first order calling for great powers of nerve, strength and 

endurance". The next year she followed up this achievement by 

being one of a party of five (including Oskar and Dick 

Edmonds) who made the second ski descent of the 

Jungfraujoch, an undertaking equally dangerous. 

At Scheidegg in 1955 she met Captain Murray de Klee of the 

Scots Guards, and helped him train for the Army Ski 

Championships. They subsequently married and eventually with 

four children "followed the flag" via postings in Cyprus, 

Germany, Malaya, Saudi Arabia and at home. 

Obituaries 

In 1985 they retired to Murray's home on the Isle of Mull. 

Angela was still skiing stylishly, in Wengen and elsewhere, well 

into this "retirement". Energetic to the last, she ran in the 

veterans' race at the Oban Highland Games in August 2002 

before discovering she had cancer in October. She is survived by 

her 4 children and 17 grandchildren. 

HdeK

Gordon West (1923-2002) 

Gordon Harry Sinclair West died in December 2002. A feature 

of Wengen from 1980 to 1992 was Monika's Bar in the 

Silberhorn. It was run by Monika Koch and her partner Gordon 

West and was a favourite watering hole, especially late at night. 

Monika's had its own quiet style, beautifully run and 

frequented by many locals as well as by those on holiday. Sadly 

Gordon died last year after a short illness - in Westcliff on Sea, 

Essex. D.H.O members might also remember that Gordon 

regularly brought a bucket of ice into the Hut at around 6pm to 

make our drinks a little more civilised. He joined the D.H.O. 

in 1987. Few of us drinking there knew anything about the 

colourful life Gordon had already led before arriving in 

Wengen. He was born in Padstow, Cornwall but grew up in 

Southend-on-Sea, the son of a grocer, Harry West, who himself 

was a larger than life character. Gordon joined the Royal Air 

Force and flew in bombing raids over Germany in 355 

Squadron during the 2nd World War. Fie later was made a 

flying instructor and was sent first to Monkton in Canada and 

later to Poona, India. 

As a young man Gordon's true passion was cricket, and he 

played for Essex as an amateur. A very talented opening 

batsman, he faced the fastest bowlers in the world including 

Griffiths and Wesley Hall of the West Indies. Apparently if his 

nerve started to fail before an innings it was his father who 

ordered him to get on with it. Gordon told me that during his 

cricketing career he had every finger broken at one time or 

another. Those were the days of minimal protection kit. 

Kenneth Fletcher (1924-2003) 

Ken Fletcher of York, died after a short but devastating bout of 

cancer in February 2003 aged 78. He joined the D.H.O in 1955 

and was an excellent representative of the SCGB in Champery 

for many winters in the 1950's and 60's. I lis planned holiday in 

Wengen for January 2003 would have been his 49th visit, 

usually staying at The Park and Sunstar. He always came down 

to the AGM dinner. With Peter Liddell, Ken had the hilarious 

idea of 'cremating' one of his old wooden ski and putting the 

'remains' into a small silver pot. This, mounted on it's ski-tip 

became The Ashes Cup for the over 80's which they donated to 

the D.H.O. 

Born in 1924, he went to school in York and then joined the 

York photographic retail business G. Coverdales & Sons. He 

was called up in 1942, aged 18, into the RASC and landed in 

Normandy on D-Day + 6. It was whilst stationed in Germany 

after the war that he learnt to ski. In 1947 he returned to the 

firm that later became Coverdale and Fletcher until his 

retirement in 1994. He was a keen fell-walker, founded the York 

Fell & Ski Club in whose Lake District club hut he loved to stay, 

was a keen squash player and member of York Golf Club at 

Strensall. 

I first met Kenneth in 1968 and, through the 1970's we became 

close friends when I was running the SCGB Yorkshire Region 

with Gilbert & Joyce Roy who were SCGB reps in Norway. 

Much fun was had when we used to take a portable wire rope 


Gordon was also Captain of his Golf Club, Thorpe Hall, and 

played to a handicap of 8. Monika and Gordon met in 1977, 

and it was only at the age of 50 that he learnt to ski. 

Nevertheless he became very proficient and also developed a 

love of the mountains. Those of us who were regulars in 

Monika v s bar in those years remember it as a haven, a 

comfortable place for a late night drink even when it was 

crowded. Together they created a special atmosphere. Gordon 

is survived by Monika who lives in Westcliff on Sea, Essex. 

M.D. 

ski tow up into the Dales on snowy winter days. He vastly enjoyed 

using the upstairs room of the photo shop in Colliergatc for the 

wine and drinks parties wc regularly held for fellow skiers. Ken 

had the great gift of laughter, was a fixture in the audience of many 

of York's classical music concerts, loved good wine and cigars, and 

gave me much moral support in difficult times. 

In July 2002, I collected Ken from his home and took him to 

Pocklington School to see the final concert of the LAPS National 

Concert Band course in which my son Charles was a 

percussionist. Although I spoke to Ken by telephone on several 

occasions as his illness developed it was to be the last time we 

met. Kenneth never married and is survived by his brother 

Raymond who kindly supplied this photograph of Ken, 

champagne glass firmly in hand, which was taken at the 50th 

anniversary of York Fell Ski & Club in May 2000. He will be 

sadly missed.

David Jamieson (1913 - 2002) 

David was the ultimate ski enthusiast, not only for himself and 

his family, but also for popularising the sport, particularly in 

Scotland. Interested in skiing from an early age; the early 30's 

saw him on proudly owned hickory skis. He first came with 

family to Wengen in 1953, where all three daughters subsequently 

joined the Junior Training, then run by Ros Hep worth. 

Seeing the success of the first 'professional' Scottish lift built in Glen 

Coe in 1956, he sought skiing pastures closer to home in Dundee. 

In 1961, with a group of likeminded friends he formed the Chairlift 

Company at Glenshee, where he was Chairman for many years 

expanding it to the considerable facilities available today. 

To provide an alternative source of income to offset the affects of 

Scotland's fickle snow supply, he was able to indulge another major 

passion through building a golf club nearby - no doubt to the 

advantage of his handicap. Curling, fishing, cars and gardening 

were his other interests, all engaged with characteristic enthusiasm. 

He worked in the Jute industry in Dundee and was one time 

chairman of the London Jute Association. 

Joan Hanlin (1917-2001; 

To most D.H.O. members of the 1950's and 1960's era, she will be 

best remembered as Joan Shearing, a very fine skier who worked 

extremely hard for, and was a very significant figure in, club affairs 

for roughly 30 years. Joan was born in Birkenhead in October 

1917, her father was a regular soldier posted to Ireland, so for the 

first 5 years of her life she lived with her grandparents. Later the 

family settled in Bournemouth and Joan went to Downe House, a 

girl's school near Newbury. 

Joan was introduced to winter sports in the mid 1930's and first 

came to the Hotel Victoria in Wengen around 1935. She joined the 

SCGB in 1936 and the D.H.O in 1939 by which time she was 

making a name for herself winning races. She married Bill Murphy 

by whom she had two daughters, Shelagh and Patricia, both of 

whom became fine skiers, Patricia being a member of the British 

Ski Team. In the early 1950's Joan divorced Col. Murphy and 

married Nelson Shearing, a farmer from Andover. In 1953 she had 

a third daughter, Edith. By now Joan's life had settled into its future 

pattern - she wintered in Wengen, where her family would, at 

intervals, join her at the Eiger and played tennis for Wiltshire and 

then Dorset in the summer. 

Her racing and collection of cups continued unabated until the late 

1950's. One of her best achievements was, at the age of 40, to win 

the Downhill event at the 1957 British Ladies Championships on 

skis borrowed from Karl Molitor also coming 11th in the Slalom 

and 10th in the Combined. Joan regularly 'repped' for the D.H.O, 

was on the Committee for over 14 years and very much involved 

in the club's Wengen activities. She was awarded a D.H.O. Gold 

badge, a Gold Racing Arrow, an SCGB Racing Lion and 

eventually an Honorary D.H.O Member. 

Joan loved soft snow and was always game for the occasional tour. 

Around 1970, very much at the last minute, she joined a small 

His three daughters Valerie, 

Sheila and Helen skied in the 

Scottish, British and Olympic 

teams respectively and his 

brave wife Hilda was ever by 

his side, when maximum ski 

miles were obtained through 

careful attention to the 

Wengen timetables. 

In later years their flat in 

Meribel claimed their 

allegiance, but a strong 

affection for Wengen and 

D.H.O ever remained. Often 

accompanied by his black Labrador he skied into his 86th year. 

Imparted with bright eye and Scottish brogue, I and many 

others were inspired by his infectious enthusiasm and practical 

wisdom.

un-guided group to do a 

Loetschenlucke. When she got 

her skins out at Concordia for 

the climb up the Aletsch, the 

straps had rotted and they 

couldn't be fixed to the ski. She 

refused all offers of help, 

wrapped the skins round her 

skis and did the two hour climb, 

tough for a lady by then over 

50. Her great fear was of 

avalanches. Soon after the 

Gummi lift opened, a 

spectacular avalanche was set 

off immediately under it. Joan, 

riding on the chair, recognised the perpetrator of the crime. That 

night, a copy of the well-known book 'Avalanche Enigma' was 

placed on the Eiger's dining table opened at the appropriate place. 

This was followed by a verbal onslaught from Mrs Shearing who 

was definitely not amused! 

After her husband's death 1972, Joan moved to Andorra in 1975 

and began to withdraw from active club involvement but would 

hold champagne parties by The Park Hotel swimming pool for 

parties of old friends. Gradually she skied less and less, only going 

out on nice days. She subsequently married a retired American 

journalist John Hanlin who died in 1977. 

Joan had many friends both in the village and the D.H.O. Although 

she could hardly walk, she attended the D.H.O.'s 75th Anniversary 

party at The Regina in February 2000, her last visit to Wengen. She 

died on November 14th 2001 and is survived by her three 

daughters and four grandchildren.

Penny Mabey (1910-2003) 

Many will remember Penny for her enormous generosity to the 

young girl racers of today. She not only gave much needed 

financial support, but also took a great interest in them and 

particularly enjoyed reading the progress reports sent to her. She 

understood the problems involved in being a ski racer. She 

learned to ski as a young child but her happiest memories were 

of her time at St George's School, in Switzerland, where she 

began to ski race. 

Skiing was a big part of the Mabey family life. It was skiing that 

led to the fateful meeting with her husband, Bunty, in Miirren. 

It is difficult to decide who fell over whom in the snow but the 

result was 55 years of marriage and six children. She 

encouraged her children to ski and, having discovered the 

D.H.O, used to set off every Christmas to Wengen by car with 

the entire family in tow. They spent many Christmases at the 

Eiger Hotel and the children progressed from Coggins to 

trainees, under the watchful eye of Ros Hepworth. Isabel 

eventually graduated to the British Team and Tina was a 

member of the British squad. Biddy went on to run the Coggins 

for several years. Many of the numerous children and 

grandchildren took BASI courses and some have also branched 

out into snowboarding. 

For many years, Penny was the SCGB's regional rep in the 

South of England, organising local events, always willing and 

generous of her time. Cartilage problems in her knees, and 

arthritis, meant that she had to give up skiing in her 60s. She 

was delighted when the doctor who did her hip replacement last 

year told her that she would be able to ski again, something she 

JohnCrossley 1966-2003 

John Crossley, aged 36, died tragically on 21st April 2003 in 

Grenoble Hospital as a result of massive head injuries sustained 

in a ski-ing accident during a family ski-ing holiday in Alpe 

d'Huez. It is understood he was off piste and ski-ed over a 

rocky outcrop. 

Johnnie (as he was known) was an excellent skier, having 

started when he was at Aysgarth prep school, and he joined the 

D.H.O in 1979 around his thirteenth birthday. He 

subsequently went to Eton and Newcastle University before 

being commissioned into the 9th/12th Lancers, his family 

regiment. He captained the regimental ski team and was for 

several years in the Army Inter-Services Team. Johnnie also had 

a distinguished military career, which included service in the 

first Gulf War, Belfast and Bosnia. 

After leaving the army he worked first in France, and then , 

having married Sarah Freeland in 1997, lived and worked for 

three years in New Zealand (where their twin daughters were 

born) before returning to Yorkshire to set up his own catering 

business "Simply Delicious" in Malton. He was a man of 

infectious enthusiasm for all aspects of life - sporting, social, 

was very excited about at the 

age of 79. Sadly the brain 

tumor, which struck her down 

so quickly, put an end to that. 

One of Penny's great qualities 

was her love for children. She 

knew how to entertain and 

amuse them and would invite 

disadvantaged children to stay 

at her home. Not surprisingly 

she trained as a teacher. 

Another enduring love was 

travel. Always ready for the 

next adventure, she was 

planning a trip to Cambodia, and up the Mekong River, when 

she died. 

Penny led a very active life. Not only was she Brown Owl and a 

Guide Leader for many years, she helped the WRVS by working 

twice a week at St Richard's Hospital, Chichester, regularly did 

Meals on Wheels and taught at St Anthony's, a school for 

children with learning difficulties. She taught Sunday School, 

did flowers for the church and belonged to the flower club, the 

bridge club, Nadfas, the Conservatives, the Royal Academy, the 

West Wittering sailing club and countless other things. She was 

a talented potter, silversmith and upholsterer. Her undying love 

for people and for life was something that she strived to share 

with everyone else. She was a character, a truly remarkable 

woman, an inspiration to everyone she met. 

business and, above all, family. His open, easy-going charm and 

sense of humour endeared him to all he met. 

He will be much missed; and we send our deepest condolences 

to his widow, Sarah, his daughters Tinika and Mikaela, and all 

his family.

Chris Brasher CBE (1928-2003) 

Chris Brasher died aged 74 on February 28th 2003 after a five 

month fight against a pernicious form of cancer. The column 

inches written in the national press at that time testify to the 

stature of the man and the affection many felt towards him. 

He joined the D.H.O in 1952, so must have evaded the eagle 

eye of Ros Hepworth or maybe felt he had better things to do 

that become a D.II.O trainee. His Gold Medal at the 1956 

Olympic Games and pacing Roger banister in the first 4 minute 

mile were still in the future. 

In recent years he had visited Wengen regularly but many of his 

D.H.O friends had got to know him through touring. Chris 

adored wild places, be they Alps or British uplands. He was a 

good person on a tour, self-contained, competent, reliable and 

fun to be with. His skiing had much in common with an old 

Land Rover - four square, not very fast, kept going, a bit noisy 

and needing filling up quite a lot. Even aged over seventy he 

would go to Tignes in December for pre-season training with 

Ali Ross. 

Chris was a very targeted and competitive person. It was this 

'will to win' that led him to such success in the things he 

enjoyed - writing, marketing, horse racing, sport, saving 

beautiful places, not to forget the vast sums he raised for 

charity. He seemed to wear the same kind of clothes, be it for 

skiing, walking or apres ski, simply made out of materials 

appropriate for the job which could, naturally, be folded small 

into a rucksack. However, he always had the latest gadget. For 

skiing there would be little heater pads to go in boots and gloves 

and a windscreen with battery operated blower! 

His other great love was his mobile phone. It had an easy to 

remember number and got a lot of use. When conversation 

palled on a long drive, Chris would get on the phone before 

eventually going to sleep. 

It could be used to find him at Geneva airport or, as happened 

at a pub in Morgins, to find out how his horse ran in the 2.15. 

Bets were accepted from the party, placed via the phone and 

Chris would relay the commentary bouncing up and down with 

excitement. His horse won, the bets producing enough for 

about two beers! 

This man had a free spirit. His love of Scotland and Wales mean 

that he escaped there whenever possible. He knew the best 

pubs, many local people and was an expert on malt whiskey. He 

lived to see his three greatest conservation wishes fulfilled - the 

' 2003 

petrol station near the Pen y Gwyrd Hotel in Snowdonia was 

bulldozed, the much sold and exploited Knoydart peninsular 

was finally acquired by a charitable trust and the Petersham 

Meadows by the Thames near Chris' former home were saved 

from development. 

Chris was at his happiest walking with a sack and tent. His 

'OBOE' (On the Back Of Envelope) walks followed beautiful 

routes, lasted about a week and involved a select group of 

friends. The last was from Geneva to Nice, in stages and had 

reached the Val d'Isere region. 

To his friends Chris will be remembered for his vitality, sense of 

humour and leg-pulling. He had had an artificial hip operation. 

After dinner at a chalet he suddenly left the room. When he 

reappeared, his trousers had been removed and he was wearing 

a pair of armoured underpants with plastic reinforcement in 

case he fell. Needless to say this caused much laughter. 

Famously, when asked where Chris could be contacted, his wife 

Shirley replied "Somewhere north of Preston". Such was the 

man, but he was much loved by many people. He is survived by 

Shirley, son Hugh, daughter Kate and seven grandchildren.

Bridget Larimer (1910 -2003) 

Bridget Latimer was the wife of John Latimer, Ros Hepworth's 

faithful side-kick for many years, who ran the racing and 

training after Ros died. Bridget was the 'Chancellor of the 

Exchequer' and held court in the D.H.O office every evening, 

doling out money and generally dispensing sound advice and 

kindness. She had joined the D.H.O in 1966. 

Bridget and John had had an interesting life in 

Calcutta where John was head of Inchcape. I 

love to think of the style they must have lived in, 

surrounded by 26 servants. But it is Bridget's war 

record that Jonathan (Bridget's son, one-time 

D.H.O trainee and British Team Member) and I 

wish to describe in this obituary. What Bridget j 

did was truly wonderful and important and had 

great impact on the course of the war. Jonathan 

writes: 

Bridget worked for MIS in a section whose activities were not 

revealed until 1975. Indeed Bridget kept it to herself and neither 

Fa nor I had any real idea. The story has since been described 

in various books on espionage and the double cross system. The 

most recent is the release by the Public Record Office of the 

dossier written by Tomas Harris and typed by Bridget, sold 

under the title 'Garbo- The spy who saved D-Day'. 

'Garbo' was a Spaniard, Juan Pujol, who became the most 

successful double agent of the war. 

By 1945 the Germans believed that he had established their 

most reliable network of agents amounting to 27 persons in the 

UK and Canada. 'Garbo' was awarded the Iron Cross and went 

himself to collect it! In fact all 27 persons were a figment of the 

imagination. They were created by Juan Pujol, his case officer 

Tomas Harris and his assistant, known at the time as 'Sarah 

Bishop', in fact Bridget. All contact with the Network was 

routed through 'Garbo' who wrote long letters in secret ink 

describing in huge detail all the imagined goings on of his 

'people'. They all needed fictional lives, jobs, girlfriends, family 

problems, and of course the information to be planted. The 

whole excursive was conducted in Spanish and contact with the 

Germans was through Lisbon then Madrid and Berlin - and 

reverse. As part of Operation Fortitude, they convinced the 

Germans that the D-Day landings were only a diversionary 

attack, thus safeguarding the Allied landings and hastening the 

end of the war in Europe. 

In 1984 the story was picked up by Nigel West who published 

a book to coincide with the D-Day 40th celebrations. He had 

tracked down Garbo who although believed by many to be 

dead, had been given a new life by MI5 and had chosen to live 

in South America. He agreed to come out of hiding and to 

return to England for the occasion. He came to the flat and had 

tea with Bridget. How wonderfully humble, understated and 

brave Bridget was!

Wengen Curling Club 2003 

Everyone who was in Wengen this January will have their own unique memories 

conveying a myriad of events, incidents and happenings. Trying to give an overall 

impression for those who were not fortunate enough to be in Wengen is not easy - so 

bearing in mind that 'a picture speaks a thousand words' a few photographs have been 

included for the first time in an attempt to give a impression of the three weeks during 

which the Wengen Curling Club members congregated once again. 

On arriving in the village, the first news to be received was that 

Hannah Stettler had broken her leg, having been knocked over 

by a horse. She came home from hospital about a week later 

and was progressing well but we missed seeing her around the 

village. 

The weekend prior to the commencement of our season saw the 

inauguration of the JCCW Surprise Cup - a popular 

competition, with WCC members in the top three rinks. In fact 

the winners were the team which had prevailed in our Hotel 

and Chalet Cup in 2002 - Walter and Elspeth Marti with Detlef 

and Barbara Scholten. The Holland Cup, played outside in bitterly 

cold and cloudy weather kicked off our programme and 

was won by Iris Klay, Stewart Fleming, Barbara Ritchie and 

Morag MacKenzic. 

It was good to see numbers increasing daily, even at this early 

stage and eight teams competed the next day for the Wright 

Bowl with Ian MacKenzie skipping the winning rink, 

comprising Jan af Sillen, Hugh Brown and Penny Waley. 

Obviously 'on a roll', Ian again led the winning rink of Willy 

Wenger, Hugh Brown and George Weech to victory in the 

Hewitt Cup, which was presented in the Club House where 

everyone enjoyed a glass of wine. 

The sunshine of the previous day had disappeared and the 

forecast w r as uncertain, so the Buhlmann Cup commenced 

indoors, again with eight teams competing. Happily the 

afternoon games and those the following day, were once again 

outside, which allowed the spectators to enjoy the sunshine and 

witness Ian MacKenzie win his third consecutive competition 

with the very able assistance of Allan Higgins, Jan af Sillen and 

John Stevenson. 

Saturday saw the all razzmatazz of the I.aubcrhorn Race in full 

swing - beautiful sunshine and a Swiss winner resulted in the 

village being full of happy people, and smiling faces! Jan af 

Sillen, Gillie McRac, John Stevenson and Philip Snook (who 

had curled for the first time only the previous day) were also 

smiling when President Diane presented them with Peter's Dolly 

for winning the Lehman Bonspiel. 

By now you may have noticed some new names among the 

winners - there were 24 new members this year, many of them 

being present in Wengen - an encouraging number with an 

interesting mix of ages and nationalities! 

-

Sorry to say that quite a number of those who did not manage 

out to Wengcn this year have yet to pay their subscriptions. I 

would be pleased to receive these before the financial year ends 

in April. 

Still playing outside, fourteen teams took part in the new Falken 

Cup. This two-day competition was played in the same format 

as the old Victoria Lauberhorn Cup where couples can choose 

to play in the same team. The competition was very kindly 

sponsored by Sina Cova who presented unusual engraved 

pewter curling stones to the winning rink of Eric Hinds, Susan 

Hinds, Biddy Stevenson and John Stevenson at a very lively 

reception in the Falken Hotel. 

Sixty-four members took to the ice the following day to 

compete for the President's Prizes, played mostly indoors 

because of low cloud with the occasional snowflake fluttering 

down. Keenly contested games saw the rink of Andy Morrison, 

Francis AdcCrossin, Anne Davidson and Isabcll MacArthur 

emerge victorious. 

The prizes of beautiful engraved schnapps cups with bases 

depicting the head of an animal, were presented by President 

Diane at the Dinner Dance. This most enjoyable evening was 

held at the Eigcr Hotel and was preceded by 'apero' offered by 

Wengen Tourism in recognition of our contribution to the 

refurbishment of the ice-rink. 

The weather was poor when the ladies, fighting fit after the 

dance, took to the ice to compete for the Margaret Walker 

Quaich. This year the format was slightly less onerous with a 

maximum of fifteen ends being played. The event was 

organised as always by Donald White. First prizes of lovely 

silver broom brooches were donated and presented by Biddy 

Stevenson, to the winning rink which comprised Marion Lang, 

Barbara Ritchie, Margaret Joerg and Barbara Scholten, with the 

runners up receiving prints of a curling scene on Kilconquhar 

Loch. Robin and Diane's stunning new apartment was the 

setting for a wonderful lunch, which they generously hosted and 

all the ladies greatly enjoyed. 

The gentlemen also had an enjoyable lunch, although they 

missed the spectacular scenery of Murren as, with the inclement 

weather preventing any chance of curling on the outdoor ice 

there, they ventured round to Grindelwald to enjoy a friendly 

game in the marvellous indoor curling hall. 

Partly due to the donations of our members, refurbishment of 

the ice making facilities in Wengen is now complete but of 

course there was not much to be seen. When we were curling 

outside it was so cold that refrigeration was not required! The 

control equipment is most impressive with a computer 

constantly monitoring ice and air temperatures, weather 

forecasts, etc - it will certainly take away much of the 

guess-work and should ensure that 'perfect' ice is always 

available in more testing conditions. Plans are currently being 

considered to improve the appearance and facilities in the 

'cowshed'.

The following two days' curling saw Karl Hindenlang and his 

rink of Rona Lochhead, Hatty Forrest and Mike Hales fight of 

the opposition from another eleven teams, to win a nail biting 

final against Ueli Trachsel and receive the Wengen Cup, 

graciously presented in the Clubhouse by Betty Goodwin. The 

next competition however was Ueli's revenge! Playing indoors 

as it was snowing more or less continuously, eleven intriguingly 

named teams (Eiger Tigers. Poached Eggs, Play Park, etc) played 

for the Hotel and Chalet Cup. During the second day there was 

much frenzied howling - not from the curlers but from the 

huskies who had come to the village for the day and were 

demonstrating their skills on the ice outside the clubhouse. The 

winners were 'Chalet Tilia', skipped by Ueli Trachscl 

accompanied by Marion Lang, Willy Wenger and John Burns. 

(Although two members of the rink were residing in the 

Alpenrose Hotel, by tradition the name of the Hotel/Chalet 

which goes on the cup, is that of the skip) 

Only eighteen players participated in the Pairs Competition but 

the bonspiel format seemed to be a popular innovation so 

hopefully more will participate next year. Marion Lang and 

Gaston Meyer won the D.H.O Cup, presented for this 

competition. 

As the snow continued to fall, numbers were dwindling as 

holidays came to an end, and only six teams competed for the 

Wyllie Shield, won by Walter Marti, Rosemarie Rosti, Graham 

Lang and Penny Waley. 

For the final competition, the Reinert Stoffer Cup, Marianne 

Hofer for the second year running, came back to participate and 

once again was in the winning rink - skipped by Walter Marti 

(who was obviously finishing our season on a high note) and 

joined by Margrit Nussli and Loreen MacKenzie. 

At the same time, the inter-club Committee match took place 

and yet again the outstanding team from the JCCW defeated the 

WCC stalwarts - however in the true spirit of curling an 

excellent lunch was enjoyed at Sina's Pizzeria! 

So overall, a season of mixed weather - curling outdoors for the 

first eight days then indoors thereafter, with a metre of snow 

falling in our last week. Of course as the final day drew to a 

close the skies cleared and the next morning dawned gloriously 

sunny and 'our' village resembled a picture postcard once again. 

Our thanks must again go to Andy Waser and his team at the 

ice-rink and to all our friends in Wengen who make us so 

welcome every year. Roll on January 2004!
