July saw the biggest ever set of reports on Walkhighlands - and choosing winners has become very difficult. A big thankyou to everyone who has submitted reports. The winners this month were two members who have just missed out on winning in the past; both put in great accounts of trips this month which were personal landmarks.

Runner up and £30 of Webtogs gear goes to jwramsay for his account of his trip up Curved Ridge on the Buachaille, complete with great photos and video - a Grade 2/3 scramble which is one step too tricky to be featured as a Walkhighlands route!

But the winner and £60 of Webtogs gear is Foggieclimber for his account and excellent photos from the ascent of his final Corbett, Beinn a’Chaisgein Mor.

Really hard luck to those who missed out! Thanks for all your reports- and also to our friends at Webtogs - these guys give the best customer service on online gear, as well as sponsoring the competition.
