This year’s Trail UK mountain photo of the year competition has been won by Ross Campbell, 27, who captured this stunning image beneath Scotland’s Ben Lui mountain using a £10 camera he bought from a supermarket. “It was my first-ever solo wild camp,” he says. “I spent all night taking photos. I’m just glad I came back with a few decent shots.”
