There were no changes to the 206 SubMarilyns (140-149m drop) during 1999, but there have been careful observations of some of the hills jostling for promotion.
Ken Whyte: I found the bealach between Meall Cala and Ceann na Baintighearna to be a mass of 2m-3m deep peat hags, so depending on how the OS measure these - top of hags or bottom or middle - I would think there is a strong possibility of Meall Cala (149m drop) just scraping in to Marilyn and Graham status.
Rob Woodall: Trig point is precisely at the (excellent) summit but height of col as 419m is unclear (col a boggy peaty trough in trees). Your height (unless you have survey data) is a safe guess but a col height 1m lower, securing Marilyn status, would not be surprising.
Ann Bowker: Baystones (better known around here as the true top of Wansfell) has been demoted from the Marilyn list with 149m drop. I ignored the quite unreasonable 'no access' notices to visit the north top, which has a spot height of 487m on the latest 1:25000 map, but was convinced that the 'official' cairned top S of the fence at NY403051 is higher. Is this a candidate for a reprieve?
Further evidence, opinion or observation about changes to the height, grid reference or name of these (and other) summits would be welcome. If there is a clear consensus of opinion the changes are likely to be ratified.
