Elise Wortley, better known as Woman with Altitude, came back to FLY today. The last time we spoke with Elise, she had completed her trek in the Himalayas of Northern India, following in the footsteps of Alexandra David-Néel who set off in 1911 to trek for 14 years (leaving her husband behind). Elise emulated the experience of this explorer by wearing exactly what Alexandra would have been wearing at the time, meaning no modern day equipment or clothing. We catch up with Elise today to discuss her latest trek in the Cairngorms of Scotland, where this past July, she followed in the path of Nan Shepherd, again without modern day equipment or clothing, and dressed as Nan was in the 1940s. Elise speaks candidly of both the beauty and challenge of these experiences, why she is making this her life's work, and a lifetime of coping with anxiety.
