She received her worst injury of the journey on a bus in Afghanistan, when a rifle butt hit her and fractured three ribs however, this only delayed her for a short while. In Iran she used her gun to frighten off a group of thieves, and "used unprintable tactics" to escape from an attempted rapist at a police station. In Yugoslavia, Murphy began to write a journal instead of mailing letters. Taking a pistol along with other equipment aboard her Armstrong Cadet men's bicycle (named Rozinante in allusion to Don Quixote's steed, and always known as Roz), she passed through Europe during one of the worst winters in years. In 1963 Murphy set off on her first long-distance bicycle tour, a self-supported trip from Ireland to India. įull Tilt has been described as both one of the best cycling books, and one of the best travel books.
