Wood, you believe it!
Short Summary created by jackill  3 Sep 2010 Park your car at Coumban forest entrance R81900 18500 (Point A) where there is room for 8-10 cars.
Walk uphill on a gentle slop 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.
Point A: R81900 18500 Point B: R81899 19837 (turn area map On)

Picture: Cool walk, quiet trees. Expand pics.
 
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 (Point B) and goes right to the top.

Our photo shows said trees.
A cool gem but there are no views at the top.
Point B: R81899 19837 (turn area map On)

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.
