The pathless side of Ben Challum might not be enough to justify the 9km walk in along Glen Lochay. So grab the impressive Corbett Cam Chreag at the same time.

Start at a new car park 1km east of Kenknock (the traditional parking place west of the farm is now discouraged by signs and blocked by schist boulders). Walk west along the road for 1.2km, passing below Kenknock. Follow the private road as it turns right, uphill, passing through a gate. The potholed road zigzags up the north side of the glen. Just below where it bends back right for the second time, take a track ahead.

The track crosses over the top of a massive hydro pipe, then contours along the glen side, passing in and out of deer-fenced woodlands being planted in 2012. After 4km, it crosses a stream above Badour cottage. In another 1.5km, it runs briefly downhill, then crosses another stream above Badvaim (or Batavaime) cottage. In 200 metres, a track turns down left at a spoil heap.

Glen Lochay track, to Ben Challum

For the Lochay tracks walk, turn down this track to the valley floor, and return alongside River Lochay.
