To Oldly Go: Tales of Intrepid Travel by the Over-60s

A brand new collection of travel tales, including contributions from Dervla Murphy and Colin Thubron. Bradt has teamed up with Silver Travel Advisor website to find ‘silver travellers’ who have defied expectations – and the odds – by going outside their comfort zone and taking a less-travelled path in later life. Their stories are entertaining, amusing, thrilling, and even a little irresponsible, and we’ve brought together in a single volume the best of them, with contributions from both well-known names and members of the public. Dervla Murphy travelling in Havana at the age of 74, Matthew Parris swimming the Thames at 60, and Colin Thubron climbing the last stronghold of the Assassins in his 60s are all here. Other contributors include Roger Bray, ‘Green Goddess’ Diana Moran and our very own Hilary Bradt.
