Drunk on blue skies and wispy clouds in Drumochter

Greetings, fellow walkers!
Just got a few more unbelievable photos from that tail end of summer we got a week ago that the world needs to know about!
Thanks to dooterbang for his post of 'Snow Whtite, Seven Dwarfs, 4 Munros & 1 Corbett!', on which this is based.
This is what transpired…
0500: Arise from Pitlochry Backpackers Hostel. Pack backpack.
0530: Leave without breakfast as kitchen not open till 0700…
0615: Arrive at Balsporran Cottage car park. Empty. Faint glimmer of light. Boot-up. Jet-boil out. Impatiently heat up old rat-pack meal of beans, sausages, chicken - tepid. Substandard coffee made with remaining water. Only LW Radio 4 available. Some test match. Urgh. Prep does not bode well for day ahead.
0700: Depart.
Think I got back to the car for 1415, after that lovely walk along the cycle path by the A9, wasn't being too precious about timings though. Spent so much time at the summits getting drunk on blue skies and wispy clouds - who needs alcohol!
