MARHOFN 183.10
In May last year Ken Butcher reached the top of Mullach an Eilein on Boreray and so became the first person to climb 1550 Marilyns. Now the National Trust for Scotland claim to be willing to discuss possible visits to other islands of St Kilda. More details on page 2.
This year's main meeting is being organised by Iain Brown and will take place in Builth Wells from 6-8 June. All are welcome, including cellar dwellers, corridor crawlers, high hall honchos and those with neither affiliation nor alliteration. Details on page 2.
Over a year after her disappearance on Coraddie in Cowal, there is still no trace of Jennifer Thomson. Jon Metcalf pays tribute to Jennifer on page 4.

After years of pointless resistance, or more precisely having never really thought about it before, Marhofn is running a poll to find out which Marilyns people like most and which ones occupy the other end of the likeableness spectrum. Not just Grahams of course, but the headline was sitting there pleading to be used. See page 23.
A survey by John Barnard has shown that the highest point of Chanctonbury Hill in Sussex is at the west edge of Chanctonbury Ring and is 1.5m higher than the trig point. The hill therefore has a new height, 240m, a new grid reference, TQ139120, and a new name, Chanctonbury Ring. John says that he tried to 'venture into the heart of the ring' to see if any point is higher than the edge of the ring. However it was so full of 'brambles, stinging nettles, saplings etc' that he was unable to survey this area. For details of other surveys see page 7.
Is this the view from the best hill in Britain? Phil Dant thinks so. What do you think? See page 23
