"When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen."
A.A. Milne
Welcome to BootUpAdventures!
Adventure is at the core of what we do. With a real passion for the outdoors and adventure, Boot Up Adventures was created to bring together all those looking for a sociable group of likeminded members to join and share the experience of nature’s own playground …. The Great Outdoors!
Whether its climbing a mountain, challenges, a more relaxed walk in picturesque settings, multi day long distance hikes, walking weekends or even wild camping adventures our passion is to help you realise all of this and much more.
We love adventures and are brilliant at organising them and therefore understand how much they matter to you. We want you to have a truly memorable experience that inspires you further.
We work with fully qualified and trusted, knowledgeable and experienced Mountain Leaders to offer a range fun, exciting and exhilarating but safe activities for the individual, friends and family to meet, share and explore the very best of our great outdoors.
"There’s a whole world out there, right outside your window. You’d be a fool to miss it." — Charlotte Eriksson
Our mission is to help introduce and connect you to an array of easily accessible adventures.
We’ve realised that many of you want adventure in the great outdoors, but need a little push in the right direction.
It’s amazing to see how many of our members delight in accomplishing challenges and ultimately becoming hooked to a new and exciting lifestyle, they didn’t even realise existed!
For us it’s continually rewarding to help inspire both new and existing members … You motivate us!
Don’t be overawed, although a certain amount of fitness is required, most of our trips are not technical in nature and are for everyone!
“Jobs fill your pocket. Adventures fill your soul.”
- Jaime Lyn Beatty
We help inspire people from all walks of life to achieve new goals, reach summits, complete challenges and learn new skills and knowledge - It’s why we do it! We love seeing you achieve your goals … you inspire us!
“Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddam mountain.”

The Ring of Steall is probably the most classic mountain route in Scotland!
You’ll need a good level of fitness, a head for heights and mental toughness for what is a long, tough but equally very rewarding day, taking in four munro and a massive 1676m of climbing!
On a clear day, the panoramic view from this classic ridge walk is possibly unrivalled in the UK.
The Ring of Steall starts from Glen Nevis, in Fort William (the starting point of an ascent of Ben Nevis) taking in the magnificent Steall Falls, made famous in the Harry Potter films and soon crossing the infamous wire bridge before making our way up to An Gearanach (982m). It’s a long way up, but at least most of the day’s climbing has been ticked off.
We then continue undulating along the ridge, scrambling in parts until we reach Stop Coire a’Chairn, where we take in views of the Grey Corries and the eastern Mamores.
After dropping down we climb up again to Am Bodach (The Old Man, 1032m).
Finally, we traverse ‘The Devil’s Ridge’ and the ascent up to Stop Coire a’Mhail, before descending the trickier section of ridge, after which we continue to our final munro, Sgorr a’Mhaim.
After taking in the incredible views of Devil’s Ridge and the whole Ring of Steall, we make our way back after an incredible, never to be forgotten mountain day! -

Standing at 1345m, Ben Nevis is not only Scotland’s, but also Britain’s largest mountain! A must on any adventurer’s bucket list!
This more technical route sees us not only conquering Ben Nevis following the Carn Mor Dearg (CMD) arrete, but also scrambling up one of the lines giving us a grade 1 scramble. It starts from Glen Nevis on the outskirts of the historic town of Fort William, which is abundant with accommodation and parking, giving you the choice of rocking up in the morning or staying the night before.
We follow the Mountain Track taking in the amazing views, whilst crossing a couple of small fords until we reach our Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe, the picturesque loch, where our path then splits from the normal tourist route and we swing round to the Charles Inglis Clark (CIC) Hut. Here we have a break taking in the views before embarking on our scramble.
Once up on the arrete, we continue to the summit to take in some of the most spectacular views in Britain!
