Background
Mountain Steps UK is built with the knowledge of more than 40 years of combined experience, extensive training, and teaching others to enjoy themselves in a safe and responsible manner.
It’s not our aim for this app to become an all-encompassing guide to every route up every mountain, but to help you learn by it, become independent, and enjoy the mountains as much as we do.

Awesome app, had this on my iPad for years now got on my android. Reason initial download is large is because it loads the maps to your phone so they can be used off line when your on a mountain with no mobile reception.
All kitted out, comfortable boots, ready to practice my navigation and have a great time seeing everything for myself. All from one handy app! Glad i had wi-fi to download it though, it's pretty chunky, but that's because there's LOADS on it!
