Episode 205: Lise Wortley, Women With Altitude

Episode 205 of The Adventure Podcast features adventurer, researcher and storyteller, Lise Wortley. Lise has spent the last few years following in the footsteps of forgotten women. She retraces their paths, as faithfully as she can, right down to the scratchy tweeds and antique kit. No Gore-Tex. No modern boots. Just a deep curiosity for how these women moved through the world, and what they had to say about it. In this conversation, Lise talks about how the project began, the strange intimacy of stepping into someone else’s shoes, literally, and the complicated task of honouring legacy without romanticising the past. They explore what it means to adventure on your own terms, to go slowly, and to find strength in stories that were almost lost to time. This isn’t just about history. It’s about reclaiming the narrative. About softness and solitude and wildness, and about how the most powerful journeys aren’t always the noisiest ones. Sometimes they’re the ones that make space. For memory, for change, and for other people to follow.
