Parked near Cornlee, went over the bridge then across the field to a gate. Faint paths and tracks leads towards the summit. Returned towards the road bridge before taking the track towards Shalloch, leaving it to cross the field towards the trees. We then went up Shiel Head before boggy tracks led to Turners Monument, the summit of Bennan. We returned to the car before driving the short distance to walk See Morris Hill. Got parked at the bend on the road before taking a track then fields to the summit of See Morris Hill. Returned the same way.
