Fitness levels
A good general level of fitness is required to climb Yr Wyddfa as there will be steep and uneven terrain. At higher levels breathing can be more challenging and will require a slower pace. Before taking on the challenge it is recommended that you complete a few 5 mile walks to get your body used to longer durations of exercise. This will also help you wear in walking boots, packs and know what clothes are comfortable for the day!
Butterflies to spot
During the hike you may spot various butterflies on Yr Wyddfa including (but not limited to) Small Skipper, Large Skipper, Large White, Small White, Wall, Meadow Brown, Gatekeeper, Grayling, Small Heath, Small Copper, Red Admiral, Peacock, Painted Lady and the Comma!
Fundraising
Once signed up the fun begins, create your fundraising page with Just Giving or Facebook and start raising money for Butterfly Conservation. We will send you helpful hints and tips to show off your journey as you make your way towards climb day! Once you’ve raised £50 you will be sent a special gift to take with you on the day!
"Come and join Butterfly Conservation as we tackle the beautiful Yr Wyddfa and raise money for saving butterflies and moths at the same time!"
