A Marilyn is a hill with an ascent of at least 150m on all sides. There are 1542 of them to go at!

Fellwanderer. As I posted two days ago I understood it to be 152 metres, based on 500 feet, not 150 metres. Perhaps there are 1554 of them at 152 metres and just 1542 of them at 150 metres, so we might both be correct on that. Maybe someone well versed in such matters could comment on whether the dozen of them in this two metre range are really worth climbing.

Thanks,Fell - who is it named after?
How are you doing?

I wonder if the programme will be shown worldwide?

Gateway to the Lakes

Julia Bradbury follows in the footsteps of guidebook writer Alfred Wainwright by walking across the whole of northern England. Enthusiasm is high as Julia begins her adventure at the western extremity of northern England, St Bees Head. The west Cumbrian coast is an industrial strip lying just outside the Lake District, but as Julia reaches the doorway to Wainwright's favourite playground the weather deteriorates, leaving her to tackle her first Lakeland valley in appalling conditions.

"walking across the whole of northern England" - surely that would take at least a whole lifetime
