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.
