As the Summer months reach their peak, it looks as though the sun and the rain added to the adventures. As always, we enjoy reading the reports but there was a resounding vote in the Webtogs office for the winner this month. We all enjoyed 'A Late Voyage to St Kilda' by John Doh who's wonderfully informative written article had beautiful photographs, that have inspired a few of us in the office to put a trip to St Kilda on their 'to do' list.

In second place we have chosen 'One Blue Pin in a sea of Red. My fist Munro - Bla-Bheinn' by AnnieMacD. The amazing photographs drew us in to the 'priceless' adventure you had on your first Munro. Well done.

:shock: Thank you very much, this is a great honor, especially for a newby like me! It is also a great motivation to return to Scotland next year and possibly come up with further reports. In the meantime I will be following the great reports on these forums as they bring the highlands to me every day :thumbup:

Thanks so much for choosing my report as runner-up. I too am a newbie and this gives me great impetus to do my next Munro, and the next, and the next..... Oh dear, I think I may have the bug :crazy: Really appreciate WalkHighlands for fuelling and feeding the addiction :lol:

John, I loved your report on the remote isles of St Kilda. I remember thinking at the time that it was special and actually referred a few people to it. Well deserved :clap:

And last but not least, thanks to WebTogs and especially to Sue who was such a pleasure to talk to. She has so much enthusiasm, knowledge and general bonhomie that we ended up yakking for ages and I nearly forgot to order my goodies! Great service all round. Thanks, Sue.
