(1.11.2015) Ben Challum & Beinn
Chaorach, 20km, 6hrs 33min.
Ben Challum. Ptarmigan meet. Got off at the A82 & headed NE up bay Kirkton Farm & followed the fence line up to the south top. Me & Graham pushed on to keep up with the speed demon Dave. After the summit the 3 of us descended down the steep & rocky NW ridge to the Bealach Ghlas-Leathaid 575m & followed the fence line around & up to the 638m col. From here it was a short bimble West then South up to the Corbett Beinn Chaorach then a descent down to Auchtertyre along the WHW to Tyndrum. On the bus I jokingly said to Graham as I always do that it could be Brocken Spectre weather. I’ve never seen one. Dave piped up that he had seen a double one before & I joked that we might get a triple one. Sure enough on the summit of Ben Challum it was Brocken Spectres galore. A memorable day.& sunny and clear with passing clag on Ben Challum.
