Loads of inspiring posts for August, we really enjoyed reading them.

Bigkeith takes the big prize for A compleat day on Blaven - take that Covid - congratulations on your final Munro and there's a £100 Cotswold Outdoor voucher coming your way.

There were so many deserving reports but in the end the £50 runner up prize goes to Mal Grey for his account of an epic water and mountain adventure To A' Mhaighdean and Ruadh Stac Mor by Canoe.

Also deserving of a shout out for finding so much to see and still having fun despite the wet is mrssanta for Water, water everywhere! four north of Culra. We also loved Bobble Hat Kenny's report from Ben More on Mull, More like the thing! Via Beinn Fhada & the A' Chioch Ridge and a great hike to Suilven with slow worm and butterfly orchid from EmmaKTunskeen Starry saxifrage on Suilven.

Thank you, very pleased! I could do with stocking up on Smidge as I'm back up there next week, and I don't think the wee beasties are going to disappear before then this year!

I thought Keith's Blaven report was beautifully written, a celebration of his whole Munro odyssey, and a great choice as winner. :clap:

Thank you for the mention from me too, and I'm looking forward to reading the winners' and other reports now. Lovely writers, those I know, and BigKeith is new to me, so yours is an adventure I'm especially looking forward to immersing myself in!
Hearty Congratulations to you and Mal :clap: :clap:
