A picture is worth a thousand words, and The Great Outdoors readers have been snapping their adventures this summer. From wild camps to cloud inversions, you’ve seen the best the outdoors has to offer – and set the early alarms to do so! Here are some of the stunning shots we’ve been tagged in on social media this month:

“The Achnashellach Munros... The neighbours of Maol Cheann-Dearg floating like an island above the clouds, kissed in sunlight. It’s hard to beat conditions like this.”

“Watching the sunlight slowly fade off Stob Coire nan Lochan from the summit of Bidean nam Bian in a beautiful winter landscape. The clouds helped frame the mountain beautifully, as normally you see the ridge of Aonach Eagach behind the mountain. This day was absolutely incredible from the icy climb up the bealach, seeing the moon rise and light up the whole landscape at night.”
