We've really enjoyed reading about everyone's adventures last month. The winning prize of £60 to spend at Webtogs goes to Magoo82 for his report on the TGO Challenge 2019. A great write up of the coast to coast annual backpack combining humour (you know you're in for a good read when a sentence starts "I was up at 4:30 with a jalapeno related matter") and pathos (the team of four was soon down to three due to ill health). We also loved the account of the mouse eating its way through the backpack to get at tortillas and the almost soul-destroying heather bashing - an inspiring read.

For the runners up prize of £30 to spend at Webtogs, we chose gammy leg walker's account Gillean...Bastier...Bruach na Frithe, a report that totally nails how special days in the hills can be.

Thanks to everyone who submitted a walk report this month, keep them coming in October.
