From Tip to TopPeter MurtaghLabel: Gill BooksDescription: Aged 69 Peter Murtagh decided it was time to embark on ‘the great retirement project’ – riding a motorbike from Tierra del Fuego at the very southern tip of South America to the most northerly point in Alaska alone and without the pressure of any deadline: just a tent a bike and a sleeping bag.En route Peter explored magical wonderful and extraordinarily out-of-the-way parts of our bruised world met incredible people from all walks of life and observed a great swathe of the planet. Travelling alone on the 45000 km journey allowed him a rare opportunity to disconnect from hectic daily life and to embrace the solitude challenge and peace-of-mind of the road less travelled.From Tip to Top is a story of optimism and hope an adventure of a lifetime and a ground-level portrait of the Americas as we rarely see them.
