Louisa has a great energy about her and that kind of trait will serve her well when she becomes a Mountain Leader. Louisa reevaluated her life in the city and relocated to Cumbria to be where she felt at her best, near the mountains and lakes of The Lake District. This has enabled her to live a more outdoorsy lifestyle and pursue her goal of becoming a Mountain Leader. Living in Cumbria has also got her baking!

In this episode we chat about the ML training, getting lost and the importance of good navigation skills, running the West Highland Way and how descending a mountain on your bum is quicker and easier but not the done thing!
