It was real struggle this month to choose our winner and runner up, from what were a really diverse and interesting set of walk reports. Fabulous to read, incredibly difficult to choose a winner. However, we could not ignore the number of 'likes' that you had given the reports and therefore this months winner of £60 to spend at Webtogs is 'Scrambling in Scotland's Rockies - Pinned it!' by Mrs Scoob. :clap: What a day, and what a brilliant set of photos and no doubt a great set of memories for you.

We really were having a hard time choosing a runner up this month, in the end, after much debate as there were several reports in the running, we decided that our prize of £30 to spend at Webtogs would go to 'Loyalty, betrayal and a double ton x 2 on brilliant Bidean' by Huff_n_Puff. :clap: A great achievement, some amazing scenery and to be honest, the photos and the encounter with the stags was probably the thing that gave the report the edge for us. What an experience, and so interesting that they seemed to be working together. As you said, not something that you ever see on a nature programme, it's just not as dramatic as the clashing of antlers as they fight. Thank you for sharing the story.
