In this episode, we meet cycling legend Dervla Murphy. Best known among bike enthusiasts as the author of Full Tilt, the extraordinary story of her solo ride from Ireland to India in 1963, she’s traversed the globe and documented her experiences in 26 travelogues, during an incredible career spanning more than 50 years. The Waterford native has lost nothing of her trailblazing spirit, boasting a passion for the environment, an arsenal of opinions – and, as you might expect, enough stories to fill a library!
