February has seen some great trip reports added to Walkhighlands and it was a tough call choosing the TISO Walk Report of the Month. The short winter days are still providing great walking and climbing and the photos and stories posted have been really entertaining.

Last months winner Doogz put in an early front-runner with his report on Beinn Fhada, but later in the month a host of great reports flooded in. Wanderlust, bigbertie, sproot, lenster, mountain coward, myth, bootsandpaddles, kevsbald, alan sherry, scotraildriver, Tom Craggs, sugary, Doug Tulloch - thanks to you all - and sorry to any I've missed out! In the final selection it came down to a choice between IainG's climb of Sgurr na Banachdich (ahead of his Meall a'Bhuachaille) for its superb photos, Yokehead's foray onto an icy Crib Goch, and Fatdogwalks more gentle meander along the Fife coastal path. We are now hooked on the exploits of the Fatdog and hope to hear more, but in the end Yokehead just pipped him to the prize for his gripping tale and he wins this months £60 TISO voucher - congratulations.

Continuing thanks to TISO for sponsoring this competition.
