We searched everywhere on the right hand side (right side going up, left-side if you are coming down) and couldn't see anything which makes me think we could be searching the wrong area.
Hey mate, I had a look for your rucksack but couldn't find it. I tried from the cairn marking the turn off for Meall Breac and the Corrie route, following an older more exposed path slightly north of the main path. The hill was mobbed with runners and walkers so I didn't have as much time to have a hunt for it as I would have liked and visibility was awful which didn't help.
You should contact the Arran MRT on facebook and let them know you left it there as one of them is bound to be up there again this week and may be able to look for it for you. Good luck!
