June's walk report of the month is ghdnotcutt for Fun and sun in Fisherfield. A £100 Cotswold Outdoor voucher is on its way.

The £50 Cotswold Outdoor runner-up prize goes to litljortindan for Ben Tianavaig stravaig - as the writer says, "I think a few folk will recognise that there are two parts of your life. That is life before having climbed Ben Tianavaig and life after climbing Ben Tianavaig such is its ability to change perspectives of what might constitute a grand hill walk."

Thanks for all the posts, we loved reading them and there were loads who could have won. :clap:

This was a pleasant surprise and has paid for a new small rucksack. I used to visit Cotswolds Aberdeen when I was taking the train to work a few years ago but hadn't been since 2016. Thankfully it was easy enough to get a parking spot at Union Square and £2.50 not too bad for city centre parking. Couldn't make up my mind in store so bought online with the option of post office delivery. Made the mistake again of interpreting the parcel force message as meaning it would be at the parcel office and next joined the queue in Turriff Costcutter to find out when the co-located post office would open. Somebody then swapped their Costcutter and post office hats and fetched my parcel. There was some doubt though as to what barcode should be scanned and where it might be but right on time the person who knew appeared and I got my new rucksack. All in all not so much of a faff as I feared it might be. I even managed not to be too baffled by the e-voucher, I think eventually deciding on downloading to a google drive as being the easiest way of displaying the necessary barcode should I have made the purchase in-store.
