High camp, left Balsporran Cottage at 8pm as the light started to fade. 5km and an hour or so up the track, we camped at the bealach. No view to speak of in the morning, but after an ascent of Geal Charn and back in 40 mins, the clouds cleared for breakfast. :)

Pretty good day out, except the walk back alongside the A9. I'll try to avoid walking back along a road in future trips.
