The MountainWalk website was first published in 2006 and initially simply shared information on walking up Ben Nevis and Snowdon. There was considerable interest in the site, which led to it expanding to include the walk up Scafell Pike, and other useful information for walkers. Many site visitors have been kind enough to share photos and their own experiences of climbing these mountains.

MountainWalk receives no money other than that which comes via the advertising displayed on the pages throughout the site.
