Christine Shepherd summited Featherbed Moss (Chew Reservoir) on May 16th, 2019 [from/via/route] Walked from Hadfield using walk d213 [with] On my own [weather] Lovely walking weather sunny with a pleasant breeze. - The tussocky moorland wasn't too bad to cross but you do have to watch your feet. Keep your compass or GPS handy as it would be easy to get disorientated but as long as you follow the NNE line you will end up at the trig point. Certainly wouldn't try this in mist.
