Considered one of the most classic and therefore beautifully stunning long distance hikes in the world! The West Highland Way follows historic routes from the lowlands of Glasgow to the wilds of the Scottish Highlands.

This classic walk passes through some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery, following ancient drove roads, used by Highlanders to get their cattle and sheep to market, old military roads built in the 1700’s during the Jacobite uprising, old coach roads and abandoned rights of way railway lines.

Hiking this near 100 mile route takes you past the wild shores of Loch Lomond, Britain’s largest freshwater lake, through the wilds of Rannoch Moor, Scotland’s largest, and finishes at the foot of Ben Nevis, Britain’s largest mountain! Although sheep and cattle aplenty, you might spot wild goats, red deer or even a golden eagle!

Meet new people and achieve your goals…
Walking over 7 days, with your own fully qualified and experienced Mountain Leader, means this famous route can be done in a more relaxed, sociable and therefore enjoyable environment, amongst other like minded adventurers. The fitter you are, the more enjoyable you’ll find it, but it is not a race! Each day ranges from a nice steady 9 miles, to our stand out longest day of 19 miles. Luckily you’ll only need carry a day bag as your main luggage will be waiting for you at the end of each day.

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” Helen Keller

### Catbells • Maiden Moor • High Spy • Dale Head • Hindscarth • Robinson • Knott Rigg • Ard Crags • Scar Crags • Causey Pike

### A superb, high-level Lake District adventure with Boot Up Adventures

Take on one of the Lake District’s most rewarding and beautifully structured ridge routes with our 10-Wainwrights Challenge. This full-day guided adventure links ten classic Wainwright summits across the Newlands Valley and the North Western Fells, giving you an unforgettable mix of flowing ridges, airy viewpoints and dramatic mountain scenery.
We begin on the iconic Catbells, rising steadily onto the graceful ridgeline of Maiden Moor and High Spy. From here, the route opens out onto the rugged high ground of Dale Head, offering one of the most impressive views in the Lakes. The circuit then continues over Hindscarth and Robinson, completing the classic Newlands horseshoe.
From here, the adventure expands into the quieter, beautifully sculpted fells above Keskadale — summiting Knott Rigg and Ard Crags, two underrated Wainwrights with superb views and peaceful ridges. We then traverse towards the dramatic skyline of Scar Crags before finishing on the unmistakable peak of Causey Pike, a spectacular finale with commanding views across the whole region.
This extended Newlands round offers variety, challenge and some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Lake District.
