A peakbaggers summit with no view
Short Summary created by jackill  3 Feb 2013 Park your car at Coumban forest entrance R81900 18500 (Point A) where there is room for 8-10 cars.
Walk uphill on a gentle slope and turn left at the first junction where you can.
Follow the forest road to R81899 19837 (Point B) where there is a rough ride all the way to the summit.
There is no view to speak of at the top due to heavy afforestation.

Picture: Cool walk, quiet trees.
by simon3  12 Jun 2007 All of Benard is wooded. I visited the area south and west of the summit and it was very pleasant to walk through on a hot day. The trees are Sitka and probably not so far from being harvested. Enjoy them while you can. There's a ride that leaves the forest road at 81899 19837 and goes right to the top.

Our photo shows said trees.
A cool gem but there are no views at the top.

by simon3  11 Jun 2007 The heavily wooded Benard from the east. Forests can vary but at present it is possible to use a ride from the summit of Benard, join various tracks and paths and walk to Temple Hill. Parts of Benard show use by quad bikes.
