What we’re about
Boot Up with us!
"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.”

Regarded as a British cultural icon, Hadrian’s Wall is one of Britain’s major ancient tourist attractions.
Hadrian’s wall is a must for both walkers and history lovers from around the world and is renowned the world over as a feat of Roman construction, that is nearly 2000 years old and holds UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
The Wall stretches for 73 miles across Northumberland and Cumbria, giving us some of the most picturesque hiking, but unfortunately there are some rather mundane sections, which is why we’ve created our Hadrian’s Wall Weekend to take in a couple of the best!
We arrive on Friday evening at The Sill YHA, the perfect place to start exploring Northumberland National Park, and a fantastic location to connect with nature and the National Park’s unique and special landscapes.
We are greeted by our Host, before settling in and enjoying a lovely, freshly prepared meal whilst getting to know each other. A little music, fun and games… but don’t get carried away, we’re up early and out for a day of hiking, taking in ‘The Robin Hood Tree’, made famous and named so after it appeared in the 1991 blockbuster film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner at the height of his fame.
Once everyone has taken plenty of photos, we continue along the Hadrian’s Wall path taking in some truly exceptional views and arrive at Housesteads, a Roman fort that was built in 124 AD, where we will be treated to a tour, explaining all the fascinating history relating to the site.
Now it’s time for our lunch, which is all provided by Boot Up Adventures and a chance to discuss and marvel at all the interesting history we have just learnt, before leaving the path and circling round Greenlee Lough National Nature Reserve and heading back to The Sill late afternoon to reflect on a brilliant day of trekking whilst being treated to another fantastic freshly prepared meal, followed by a great night of socialising!
After breakfast, those who fancy another adventure will be treated to a shorter walk taking in another fantastic route in this beautiful national park.
Today we take in the famous Walltown Crags and quarry, pass a Roman bridge as well as many remains of turrets and milecastles before reaching Aesica, another Roman fort, where we will take a little time out to look around before returning to the start.
For those that are not as eager to get home, you can take in more sights of history at the Roman Army Museum, Magnis Roman Fort and the remains of Thirlwall Castle.
A unique and memorable experience not to be missed … this weekend’s itinerary is an absolute must for hiking and history lovers!
