It's all change on the OUTDOORSmagic competition page. In the last month we've given away six pairs of Tevas, a weekend for two in the Austrian Alps, a Highlander outdoor pack, a Haglofs Tight Evo rucksack, and five Cicerone guides, including the best-selling 'Scotland's Mountain Ridges'. But in case you've missed out, we now have £280 worth of Vango gear to give away as well.

Venom 225 Sleeping BagThe haul is made up of a Vango TBS Spirit 200 Lite tent and a Venom 225 down sleeping bag. For those with weight on their minds, the tent will add an extra 2.25kg to your pack, which isn't the lightest two man tent on the market, but it's not bad. And if you're wondering why the emphasis in this competition is on lightweight gear, it's because Vango are now sponsors of the Original Mountain Marathon, better known as the KIMM, and not at all well known as an event where heavy packs cut the mustard.

If you want to enter, just visit the Vango competition page to fill in your details.

Scotland's Mountain RidgesIn case you missed finding out who took home the Tevas or the Haglofs Tight Evo rucksack, the names of the winners are here. We can also announce that the Cicerone guides are currently on their way to Mike Taylor, who now faces a long journey from his home in Shropshire up to the north of Scotland, to tackle the 'Mountain Ridges' detailed in his new guide. If you fancy a similar trip yourself, Cicerone's website is a good place to start.

To win more prizes on OUTDOORSmagic, have a look at our competition page - it's worth checking back regularly as we update it quite a lot. As well as the Vango kit, we still have a Royal Robbins outfit worth £95 up for grabs, courtesy of Active Travel Apparel, not to mention some good old Bridgedale Trekker socks. These are awarded every month to the best photographer in the OM gallery, as voted for by you. This month's leader is Neil Higgins with his photo of Buttermere but there are still a few days to go so it's not too late to upload your own photos. Just add them to the gallery and they'll automatically be entered into the competition.

Good luck:-)
