Jon Metcalf: Perfect weather on arrival, though a gentle crossing (by Kilda standards) still had me struggling. It isn't Baxter's virgin paradise, but is still very special on a good day. The stacks and satellites are both inspiring and frustrating. I'm convinced Boreray could be made to go. And equally that Stac Lee can't.
Jimmy White: It may be possible to park at a fisherman's hut (NH448126) near Loch nan Lann. There is a new, steep estate road heading south, following the trees and the west side of the burn to about 400m. Don't miss visiting the exquisite summit lochan nestling in a fold between the two tops. Choose a clear day if you can, as the views along the Great Glen and Loch Ness are truly magnificent. This is an ideal hill for a quickie fix, on account of its new and easy ascent and descent.

Alan Dawson: A damp Welsh week in November produced 28 new Marilyns but not many really good hills. Best by far was a repeat of Tor y Foel, which could be an archetypal Marilyn: 150m climb from the road, easy parking, no fences, no forests, no clutter, no false tops, just clean grassy slopes at the perfect angle for a swift ascent, and high enough to have lovely views, especially with the sun setting over Talybont Reservoir. Nothing spectacular, but hugely enjoyable and entirely hassle-free.
