Another month has flown by. There have been a few wet days (see Doogz report from Skye!) but also loads of warm sunshine, and it looks like you have all been making the most of it. Walkhighlands had another record busy month, with 107,895 visits to the website and a massive 1.24 million pages download by you all (nearly 7 million hits!), with 86 new trip reports and 142 new members joining.

There's really too many to mention them all individually and loads of good quality - it's taken us quite some time to read them! Runner-up this month was Wanderlust for his three reports on the Torridon giants, Liathach, Beinn Eighe and Beinn Alligin; we also liked Papagenos' report on the Mamore Loner, Binnein Beag for its different style. But the overall winner this month, a popular one judging by the number of responses, is Kinley for his stunning high-level wild-camping trip to Knoydart. £40 of TISO vouchers are on their way :D

Don't forget - keep submitting your reports for the chance to win £40 of Tiso vouchers every month...

A worthy win - congrats.
It was not so much the quantity for me but the astounding quality of the photos, and the economy in the accompanying prose - the first really comprehensive "photo diary" I think.

It's been a great month for walks, and thanks to everyone - quite inspiring given that I haven't managed to drag my aching bones anywhere this month, other than down to Aviemore for a Bio-man rendezvous/planning meet-up.

Enjoy choosing your new kit!
