The time has finally come to announce our February walk report winners. Apologies that this is reaching you late, the beast from the East gave us a battering and that meant that many of our colleagues were snowed in! Fortunately it looks like most of February provided good walking weather - or at least eventful walk reports!

As always they have been a true pleasure to read, but we can only have two prize winners. For the first prize of £60 to spend at Webtogs we chose 'Mission to 'create a new hill walker' by Mountainlove. We loved hearing about your adventure with Kevin and the contrast in weather between the two days, and felt that a mission accomplished deserved a reward.

For the runner's up prize of £30 to spend at Webtogs we decided to go with 'Sgurr na Stri - no strife this time around' by Anne C. We loved the idea of a throwback style report and it was great to see Sgurr na Stri in all it's glory in pictures. The combination of great write up and breathtaking pictures made this report a joy to read.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit a walk report this month, we look forward to hearing about your adventures over March.

Wow - thank you so much!! Couldn't believe it when the email came in this morning! So glad you enjoyed the report and pics.I wrote it just to add to the wee set of reports on the hill, as I love devouring what others have experienced/done/got photos of, in the lead up to a walk.

Congratulations to mountainlove (whose reports I always love - such adventures!) It's a joy to introduce someone new to Munros, as well as a bit of a worry - will they, won't they like it /hate me for this etc :roll:

Thanks Graeme :D
