Meiringen, 6th March 2005
6th March 2005
Meiringen is famous for two reasons, first, it’s close to the Reichenbach falls where Sherlock Holmes fictionally met his death although people typically forget that Holmes returned after a public outcry in the story “The Return of Sherlock Holmes” with the explanation that Holmes had grabbed a ledge during the fall. The second reason is that it’s the birthplace of the meringue, this was invented by an Italian baker called Gasparini in the 18th century.
For some skiing you’ll need to read more 
I have not actually skied at Meiringen before but I have snowboarded there, it was somewhere we went when we lived in Germany for the office ski trip weekend.
The reason I went today was to drop into the Stöckli ski test, I’ve pretty much decided to buy a pair but I wanted to try some different models and lengths.
We’re still having some unsettled weather, it was snowing when I left home and was snowing on and off all day. It threatened to clear all day but never quite managed it. As a result it was a bit wild at the top and not too pleasant so I kept down below the tree line.
