About Walk up the Ben

Walk up the Ben is part of the Mud and Routes family of outdoor websites. It’s designed in the same vein as Walk up Snowdon– The number 1 online resource for Snowdon – with the intention that Walk up the Ben will be just as popular with the UK hill walkers.

Mud and Routes – is an independent, non-corporate, walking website with a smattering of other outdoors sports for good measure. We review outdoor tech, food and any gear that looks particularly interesting. Oh, and we do love a challenge!

If you want to promote a walk you’ve put on line, let us know. We can help drive traffic to your site, be it personal page, community, public body or business. You can publish it online for free on Mud and Routes.

Walk the Three Peaks – The aim of the site will be to showcase the challenge and how you may be able to complete the challenge sensibly and with as little impact as possible. Of course, we’re talking any walk that’s called 3 peaks challenge from the National to the Yorkshire. There’s even the 15 peaks on there as anyone who’s read our 5 things can attest, we refuse to count accurately.

See below for links to all our current websites.

Welcome to Walk up Ben Nevis

Walk up Ben Nevis is an on-line guidebook for anyone wanting to walk or climb up Ben Nevis – the highest mountain in Great Britain (and obviously, Scotland). Ben Nevis is one of the best walks in the Highlands of Scotland, though it does suffer from being rather popular. We have all the walking routes up Ben Nevis, and will outline all the routes to the summit and is designed to be used by anyone who fancies climbing up “The Ben” or if you’re setting out on the Three Peaks Challenge along with Snowdon or Scafell Pike. The Ben Nevis Interactive Map Page has an interactive map that shows all the walking routes as well as any facilities near by. There’s a page for each walk that shows the route and has a downloadable gpx file. You can add your Accommodation for Ben Nevis, or any relevant local business via our Business Listing Page – currently FOR FREE!
