Loads of great reports this month, including a set of stunning reports from wildcamps from several contributors, a great report on a visit to Sandaig (good to see what can be done with a low level report!), not to forget plenty of trips south of the Border and around the globe. Thanks to you all!

But congratulations this month go to long-time contributor Malky_c - who probably has more trip reports and other entries in his Walkhighlands diary than anyone else (I think!). His reports posted in September included a trip to the Sierra de Orihuela as well as an epic through the Attadale region. £40 worth of Tiso vouchers, however, goes to his report posted way back on Sep 1st - 'Into Glenelg and the Arnisdale Grahams'.

As usual, thanks go also to Tiso for providing the vouchers!

Oh wow! Didn't notice this at first - Thanks very much! :D

Have to say I really wasn't expecting this, which makes it even better. I can think of any number of ways to spend it, but since my wife has suddenly decided she would like to go up Canisp (I thought I'd put her off hillwalking a few years ago :lol: ), I should probably put it towards getting her some boots!

Well earned for taking us into a less well known area and for a memorable image looking up into the hills around Loch Hourn. :D

I for one really appreciate your hill and route selections.

Great set of TR's you've posted, not simply this one 8)

Excellent! Well done Malky - think I remember back when I read it (when you first put it out) that several of us mentioned we thought it would get Walk Report of the Month - and it was only on 1 Sep! :clap:
