Marilyn Hall of Fame News

MARHOFN 49.02 - APRIL 2000

The Newsletter for Marilyn Baggers

Intro: This is the second edition of Marhofn, the Marilyn Hall of Fame newsletter. A Marilyn is a hill of any height with a drop of 150 metres or more on all sides. In other words, a relatively high hill. There are 1551 Marilyns in Britain, and this newsletter is for people who like to climb them, especially people who have climbed 600 or more, and so are eligible for membership of the Marilyn Hall of Fame. The Marilyns are all listed in a book called The Relative Hills of Britain (RHB) by Alan Dawson, published by Cicerone Press in April 1992. Details of subsequent changes to the list of Marilyns have been published in a series of update sheets, most recently in April 1999. There is no update sheet for 2000, as there have been no major changes to the list of hills in the past year.

Outro: Marhofn is distributed free of charge to anyone interested, though contributions such as stamps, cheques and bundles of cash in brown envelopes are all welcome. Many thanks to everyone who has already assisted - it is very much appreciated - and particularly to Bert Barnett and Jon Metcalf for their generous contributions. The next issue will appear in April 2001, probably. All members and prospective members are encouraged to send in their articles, comments and numbers by the end of January 2001.
