We really enjoy reading the walk reports each month, and there are usually many photos that prompt a 'Wow' or an 'Amazing' from someone, but this month it has been an absolute chorus of 'WOW!' from everyone in the office as we read through some absolutely awe inspiring reports and breathtaking photographs.

Choosing the winner of the £60 to spend at Webtogs was quite an easy one this month though, and we are sure that you wont be surprised to learn that we have selected 'Sgurr Dubh Mor, journeys end at 281' by spiderwebb. We thought this was a beautifully written, and emotional report which, to borrow from several of your comments, bought a lump to many a throat here at Webtogs. Complemented by a set of super photos, we were all in agreement that spiderwebb was a worthy winner.

Runner up and winner of the £30 to spend at Webtogs was a far more difficult decision, and we really wished we could give prizes to so many who submitted reports this month. However, there can only be one runner up, so, in the tradition of many a TV talent show, we combined your votes with the judges scores, and the runner up is 'A' Mhaighdean summit camp and inversion heaven Fisherfields' by Collaciotach. Those photographs are absolutely stunning and if they don't inspire everyone to get up into the mountains, we don't know what will! And to think, you could so easily have missed all that if your decision had gone the other way.

So, another month, another 2 winners. Good luck with your next report if you didn't win this time, and let's close by continuing the talent show theme ' Keeeep walking' (not 'dancing', although that might make for some interesting summit photos :wink: )

Deserving winners, well done to both.

The reports, for those who haven't read them, or want a reminder.

A fantastic read, wonderfully told and quite emotional.

There have been quite a few fortunately folks getting inversion conditions recently (not jealous at all!), but this was amazing.
