Rushing : Sneeking in a Wild Camp and Bike n (small) hike

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…..)

Okay- so above text is (meant to be ) very tongue in cheek … Had a great tip, away from the dead batteries, broken drone propellers (and bruised cut hand- another story , 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  Some pictures below:

If the experience was anything like as good as the pics, then it must have been brilliant

That was brilliant - the video really brings things to life in a way that photos can't match.

I wish you'd stop posting this stuff, your going to cost me a fortune
