The Weekly three month Gallery Round-Up

Okay, so it's been a prolonged festive season for the outdoorsmagic crew. We have been having some well earned time off! We have some winners for the gallery prizes over the past three months. Don't forget to keep posting your beauties and voting! Remember it is the photograph with the most amount of votes wins. Take a minute, sit back and marvel at what you have to compete with...

October's winner is Jim Shotton with this wonder of Lake of Bachalpsee. It's taken from the Grindlewald, which is in Switzerland where the skiing is excellent and there are plenty of hiking trails which stay as such all winter.

November found Dan Mihai Deaconeasa in some early snow. A mountain range in the Southern Carpathians in Romania, the Piatra Craiului aka "Rock of the King" is regarded as one of the most beautiful sights in the Carpathians. Precarious paths, deep gorge decents, pitted slopes and caves. This is from Dan's Romanian Mountains album.

December's winner, John Cameron, stayed in home territory over the Christmas break snapping this lovely reflection photograph of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles. An awesome place for a spot of ice climbing, scrambles and rock climbs. John managed to capture "The Ben" in all its Christmas glory in his Lochaber album.

The winners each get themselves five pairs of Bridgedale Trekker socks for their efforts.
