(22.9.2012) Ben Challum,
998m, 5hours 30 min, 10km
Parked on the layby , west side of the A82 just north of the
turning for Kirkton Farm. Began the walk by crossing the road and following the
Kirkton lane down over the bridge and along the track to the Farm and then past
the priory of St Fillan. Left the West Highland
way and followed the path uphill and
crossed the railway. Picked our route in a NE direction up and around the
grassy humps and bog and over the number of fences and stiles. Followed the fence up the last push with south
top. By now the views are beginning to really open up, with a great views back
down to Strathfillan and the great peaks of Ben Lui. Headed to the 998 summit
before returning the same way. Sunny and cloudy with great views. Only reached
the south top as the guy I was with did not want to go any further.
