We had the hills pretty much to ourselves, although there was a couple up ahead of us whom we passed as they were coming back along the summit ridge of Meall Buidhe. On the first part of the southeast ridge there are three cairns, which we soon spotted - one of them is ridiculously large, but none of them mark the actual summit of Meall Buidhe which is some distance out along the ridge away from the loch. This was where Ruth's party had gone wrong last time in the mist - they had visited all three of these cairns and decided that one of them must have been the summit, but they had never made it out along the ridge to the real summit.
