Ben Challum

(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.
