Video report
Rushing – too get to Blair Atholl (due to family commitments )– eventually left car about 16.40….
Rushing – to get to pitch site before dark (failed pitched at dusk on shoulder- no too shabby though….)
Rushing – to get summit sunrise …(failed due to gammy knee and claggy summit;)
Rushing - to get camera set up (batteries needed changing due to cold drain) some passable shots…
Rushing – to get drone up over summit clag (limited success as I phone battery died- lesson learnt)
Rushing - to strike camp (failed – views were too good to take eyes off!)
Rushing – to get home for family commitments (passed – just…..)

, I phone draining, gammy knees and back breaking push of heavy bike – there was also, spectacular sunrises, temperature inversions, standing above the cloud, blue skies, blazing sun, clearing mists, superb visibility, roaring stags, great Mountain bike free wheel almost all the way back, wild life aplenty, beautiful scenery, roaring river, autumnal forests……….. Highland Perthshire. Cracking wee peak Carn a’ Chlamain- hopefully not leave it ten years before another visit
