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. Anyone wishing to race in the Inferno should contact Max Davies [01243 811377/davies@eastdeanhome.freeserve.co,uk | by the end of August giving details of: Name, Year of birth, Contact addresses and numbers.
