EDITOR’S PICKS

TRAIL UK

MOUNTAIN PHOTO OF THE YEAR YOUR WINNER • To capture a mountain moment that stands out above the rest is something special. The winning shot in our annual mountain photography competition of a winter climber on Ben Nevis captures more than just a moment – you can feel the cold and sense the danger oozing from the image.

TRAIL Picks • Places we’ve been, things we’ve seen, and mountain-related stuff we like

When people ask me why I climb mountains, I just ask them why they don’t” • Hollie Ivy lives and works in the Scottish Highlands, where she walks regularly with her daughter and dog. She’s a popular member of our Mountains for the Mind Facebook group, and here explains what mountains and exploring the great outdoors mean to her.

FACEBOOK GROUP POSTS OF THE MONTH • We asked you to share pics of your MOUNTAIN DOGS – and why walking with them is so special.

Mountain frogs – hardy, horny and thriving in our uplands

Out there • YOUR MOUNTAIN SNAPS & TALES FROM THE TRAILS

The Marmot Awards 2021 • Climbing the height of Everest – all 8848m of it – is a pretty magnificent achievement. But five Everesters have shone out above all the rest in 2021, with some incredible tales of sheer determination and triumph over adversity.

SPECIAL MENTIONS

THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF LIFE ON THE TRAIL • Fancy taking on a long-distance hiking adventure in 2022? You won’t regret it, suggests James Forrest, as he reminisces on his record-breaking National Three Peaks walk.

DREAM PEAKS • The dark days of a British winter are the perfect time to start planning your summer get away. The Swiss Alps are calling, and you must go.

WHAT MAKES GRASMOOR GREAT? • It’s big, bold, bulky, and burly, but is it also a little bit boring? Not on your nellie. Grasmoor is a multi-faceted mountain that’s a good deal edgier than it gets credit for.

YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE • Solo walking adventures with little or no experience can be daunting, so why not join a group instead? Peter Elia signs up for a weekend in the Peaks with ‘Go London Hiking’ to discover the benefits.

HOW TO SURVIVE AN AVALANCHE • What happens when you get caught in an avalanche and how do you survive it? Alan Hinkes, who has been caught in more than one, remembers the first one he experienced.
