Overview

“Callum’s Hill” is easily accessible from the A82 so travel should be straightforward, even in potential winter conditions. Tracks, paths and rougher paths will help us up to the South Top. From here the navigation will need care, but we will reach the true summit for excellent panoramic views. Return is by the same route.

This will be a Slow A walk and compasses and maps are welcome. We will practice navigation as we go. If winter conditions prevail, ice axe and crampons will be needed. Micro spikes can be useful but with milder winters these days we may not need any extra equipment.
