Ben Challum is a 1,025m Munro mountain in the Scottish Highlands. I climbed it as part of a two night wild camping Munro bagging expedition in 2019. I approached from the east (after climbing Meall Glas) and departed to the north (aiming for Creag Mhor). I camped just off the summit of Ben Challum and was treated to a dusky sunset over the nearby mountains. A beautifully remote experience.

An easy munro, with some good views. Beware the ascent is very boggy.

the 3 photos I called 'tricky point up to' are a point where you have to take a good look that you follow 'the grass'. You see the route but (especially with a heavier backpack) it is good to take the right route!
