Followed the route again for Ben Each. Further past the signpost a "track" cuts off through a hole in the wall. Through the trees and kept the forest o my left and headed up to the "ridgeline". No path, as with a lot of these less travelledhills!!
Theres a huge boulder on the right. Aim for this and up a bit of a gulley to the fenceline on top.
Or go straight up on the left slipping on the wet steep surface and fighting through lheather. Guess which way I went up. Rectified on the descent though.
On up to the summit (a single fence post set away from the rest of them)
Quick chat with a few heading up Ben Each as I headed back along the track and down.

Ascent is a rough estimate
