This summer, Litro magazine teamed up with Stanfords, the travel and map shop, asking for your wildest and strangest holiday, adventure or travel experience in less than 201 words. Ie, we asked you for your story on a postcard.

Now Summer’s over, we’ve sifted through the drifts of electronic ‘postcards’ you sent in and these lucky writers came out on top:

• David Midgley with ‘Tobago Adventure’ [which you can now read below]

• Vanessa Woolf with ‘The Heights of Abraham’

• Graham Buchan with ‘The Fjord Question’

Each of these will receive a copy of Martin Parr’s fabulous photographic book Martin Parr Postcards. In addition, the top winning story is to be published on both Litro and Stanfords websites, so well done Mr Midgley. ‘Tobago Adventure’ is HERE. To read many more stories like and unlike these, explore www.litro.co.uk, where you can also find information on the nearest place to pick up a copy of Litro magazine. Or of course you can Subscribe! to the magazine on our Subscriptions page.
