On the way back down I was slightly troubled to see the two walkers still perched exactly where the had been before. I started up towards them but soon decided that they weren't people at all but just a couple of oddly shaped rocks. Which explains why they were neither moving nor seeking each other's company! As I got near the bealach I did however meet two genuine flesh and blood fellow-walkers, the only other people I saw on the hill all day. They asked how long it took to get to the summit - about 45 minutes I reckoned, and we parted fully expecting to meet again somewhere on "the other one" - that is, Sron a Choire Ghairbh.
