The Marilyns
A Marilyn is "a hill of any height with a drop of 150
metres (nearly 500 ft) or more on all sides". So it is a hill which is
relatively high compared to its surroundings.
A subMarilyn is a hill which just fails (by up to 10m) to
qualify on the drop rule, i.e. drop of 140m to 149m on all sides.
The Marilyns are so-called by the list's compiler, Alan
Dawson, after the more famous mountain list - the Munros. Alan's original list is of
mountains and hills in Scotland, England, Wales and the Isle of Man. The same concept
was applied to Ireland by E D "Clem" Clements
Anyone who has climbed 600 British Marilyns or more is eligible for entry into the Marilyn Hall of Fame. Anybody wishing
to make a claim should initially contact the Membership Secretary, Chris Watson, at hof@rhsoc.uk.
