With the threat of April Fool's now passed the time has come to announce our winning walk reports for March. As always they have been a pleasure to read and provide the Webtogs team with entertainment, a break and some much needed adventure inspiration.

For the first prize of £60 to spend at Webtogs we decided on "A Wee Shortie on (and off) the Watershed" by rohan. We thought this sounded like an excellent day trip, and what great luck to have encountered so much of our often elusive wildlife. We hope this £60 voucher helps you get kitted out for your next adventure.

For the runners up prize of £30 to spend at Webtogs we picked "Horns of Alligin Winter Traverse - Wild Weather in Torridon" by DizzyVizion. We really enjoyed the fantastic video edit which had us on the edge of our seats! What a thrilling winter adventure.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit a walk report this month. The information that they provide is invaluable and of course they are a true pleasure to read.

Until next time, happy adventuring.

I can't quite believe this, there were so many excellent reports I feel humbled that you picked my one. My journey along the Watershed has taken the toll on my gear so the £60 voucher is very welcome! Congratulations to DizzyVision too.

A really well deserved winner. And well worth reading the previous 10 or so reports, that start with the beginning of the watershed walk - it's a very unusual - but superb - view of the Scottish mountains.

Thanks Dizzy, your video had me gripped, great stuff. Looks quite a challenge. I traversed the Horns in summer (but windy conditions) back in the day when I still had a head for heights.
