Dervla Murphy – Full Tilt
A very different take on the theme to the usual suspects..
Another travel journal, it’s a great tale of a how a woman flies in the face of danger and tradition in a time when such things were frowned upon, to get a closer look at some interesting parts of the world, that few understand, but everyone seems to have an opinion on..
She’s written some hefty sociology texts in her time too so she’s no bimbo.. and she does it all on a bike, with only a pistol and a packet of crisps to keep her safe and well..
Well worth a read I reckon..
