Full Tilt : From Dublin to Delhi with a Bicycle Book

For more than forty years, Dervla Murphy has been recording her remarkable adventures--traveling by bicycle and on foot--in some of the most inaccessible places on earth.

Shortly after her tenth birthday, Murphy decided to cycle to India. Almost twenty years later, she set out to achieve her ambition. Her epic journey began during the coldest winter in memory, taking her through Europe, Persia, Afghanistan, over the Himalayas to Pakistan, and into India. This captivating account--Murphy's first--is an enchantment that holds the reader to the final page.
