I hope she just needed some time away to clear her head.
It sounds like she has some walking/hiking equipment, although I'm not sure if you need 2 walking poles usually, as opposed to one?

I just hope she is careful, as the weather can be cold and wintry still up there, even in April.

It's been really cold and wintry in South Scotland this week so must be pretty rubbish up there.

I think Lorna was probably found.
No news activity in over 3 years , no family reaching out , not on any websites ( except here ).
I messaged Police Scotland over a year ago and was given no reply.
