They were joined by a
number of friends for the summit celebrations and copious amounts of Champagne,
whiskey and cake kept the throng happy as blustery showers blew in from the
west.
There are currently 1,556 Marilyns in Britain and the listing forms one of the toughest challenges for any hill bagger. The celebratory chant was led by list author; Alan Dawson, who compiled the listing of Marilyns which was first published by Cicerone Press in 1992 in The Relative Hills of Britain book.
A Marilyn is a hill of
any height that has a minimum 150m of drop.

completion has been covered by numerous online websites, including:
