2 of 5 from the layby on the A82 | robertphillips | 06/08/2023 |
Walk up from the A82 along usual route. Started out 5:30pm after 450 mile drive. Walk up was very pleasant and dry. Summit ridge between South top and summit was interesting. Superb viewpoint all the hills on show. Time taken 3 hours 45 minutes for 7.67 miles and 2890feet of ascent. | isabelle | 31/05/2023 |

From the A82 layby for a round of Beinn Challuim South Top, Cam Chreag and Beinn Chaorach. | rhalstead | 16/09/2022 |
On the way to Beinn Challuim itself, from the A82 lay-by near Kirkton Farm. Summit is interestingly separate from the ridgeline which the direct path to Beinn Challuim takes. With Pete, although he didn't summit. Hot & sunny. | millionmts | 12/08/2022 |
Beinn Challuim and South top from layby on a82. Very straight forward out and back, 12km in 4 hrs. Not too steep or boggy and fine panoramic views. | Nicky C | 28/08/2021 |

Beinn Challuim hike from Kirkton. | Tisteln | 15/05/2021 |

Circular from Auchtertyre Farm (walkers' car park) via track on West side of Gleann a Chlachain to Ben Challum, S Top and Creag Loisgte. | TRG318 | 05/03/2021 |
Solo from Kirkton - lot of ice low down, but above 400m, mostly wet snow over still wet bog. Snow was knee deep between the South top and the summit, but visibility was excellent all day. Pace felt slow, although a final time of 5h 43m was ok. | mproudfoot | 28/12/2020 |

Low cloud stopped us attempting to reach the North summit as visibility was zero and with deep snow everywhere was too risky so turned back after passing the cairn on the south top. | supermario | 04/03/2020 |
