Set out at 9.30 on the Sat, as forecast for Sunday was better and we wanted to save that for Hallival. Overcast, turning to drizzle as we passed the turn off for Kilmory. Rain didn't last long though and rest of day was dry. A fairly leisurely pace with stops to look at a stone crushing machine/ the various bridges ( for Graham the civil eng) /birds/ coffee/ take photos. Lunch on the cliffs just past the mausoleum at around 1ish. A couple of lads passed us and we saw one other guy heading across the slopes toward Ruinsival.
Then back up the track with plenty of time to try and bag a shower before the bar at the hostel opened.
