In 1965 Dervla Murphy journeyed alone from her native Ireland to India on a bicycle, armed with little more than a pistol, a notebook and a compass. Dervla died last month, aged 90

Her book are amazing

Looks like Denholm from IT Crowd declaring war on stress 🤣😂😂
Caption is clearly wrong. That’s obviously Stoneybatter 2015
Different times, I was laughing at armed with nothing more than a pistol. Try carrying one across multiple borders these days. Still a massively brave lady, I must look at her books
“armed with little more than a pistol”
I mean, that’s more than most people are usually armed with it
Her books are fabulous
Listening to the audiobook of “Full Tilt” on BorrowBox now after someone on here recommended it. Great stuff.
Queen of Ireland right there
Here’s a great doc on her life and work, well worth the small rental fee imo.
