‘I follow in the footsteps of women adventurers from history who were ignored’ 🏔 Adventurer Lise Wortley joined @bbcnuala in the Woman’s Hour studio today – in a rather unusual 19th century hiking outfit, bonnet and all! 🥾 Lise @woman_with_altitude has spent the past few years following in the footsteps of female explorers of the past, recreating their expeditions. It’s all about shining a light on the female adventurers she says have been ‘erased from the history books’, and she does the expeditions wearing replicas of the outfits they would have worn at the time 👀 Lise recently followed in the footsteps of Henriette d’Angeville, the first woman to climb Mont Blanc unaided in 1838. She attempted to follow the same route, but after two days in the mountains, was unable to reach the summit due to weather conditions. Lise told Nuala why she was inspired to start this project and why she hopes it’ll encourage women to get outdoors and seek adventure in their own lives 🙌 You can listen to the full interview on @bbcsounds – it’s the Woman’s Hour episode from 7 October 🎧 📸 credit: @grace.t.s.p . . . #bbcwomanshour #bbcradio4 #adventure

Dominique Low has been an ardent supporter in helping to raise funds to support a charity cause to help other women. She was part of the Women On Mountains team to climb Mt Kilimanjaro (2015) and trek to Everest Base Camp (2016) to raise funds for Project Pari.

In August 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, Dominique had a ruptured brain aneurysm and a stroke. She had to relearn simple things like walking, reading, and making a cup of coffee. After a year of recovery, Dominique is 98 percent back to her pre-aneurysm self. Click the link below to read more about her road to recovery.
