Make sure you have at least 1.5L of water per person for your walk up Yr Wyddfa. It can take 450 years for a plastic bottle to decompose, so please pack out any bottles you buy at the summit. A recent study shows that 5% of the soil content on the summit is already microplastics.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Thoughts from Crib Goch Outdoor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yr Wyddfa is one of the most beautiful mountains in the UK, but still demands respect.
