Dervla meant so much to me over the last 45 years inspired me to travel all round the world.Visited her grave yesterday for the first time.A true irish legend like yourself
Thank you Derek, for reminding me of the greatness of Dervla her spirit and fearlessness, she could teach the youth of today how to live a truly exciting life away from social; media💖💖
. ive just been reading up on Dervla Murphys travels and what an amazing woman.
I was speaking about Dervla this week with a colleague from Pakistan. She is renowned in Pakistan as she travelled there with her 6 year old daughter in winter. Where the Indus is young is another fantastic travel book
was living there in 2019 , will never forgot the city and surroundings, gorgeous countryside and villages
Dervla only passed in May. I am sure her memory and work, will be honoured in some way by her friends and neighbours in Lismore in good time. Great video Derek. R.I.P Dervla 🌹🌹🌹
Well done Derek, that was a lovely tribute to Dervla.
Brilliant Derek, very moving. Thank you sharing, Im going to Madagascar on Tue 16th April, and will try to get Dervla's book, Muddling through in Madagascar . i am blown away with what i have read about this woman the last few days. her courage and determination so so powerful.
Very sad Derek to see Dervla’s grave - like you said, how lovely it would be if a tribute is made in Lismore in time for her memory. Coincidentally (or spookily! 😎) - I am in tonight with an evening planned to read the final 25 pages of Full Tilt!! 🫢 What an amazing, inspiring, Irish woman…and what an example she set of how one can live life. You’re walking your own walk too Derek - great to see anyone who is inspired and listens to the prompt to walk the road less travelled so to speak!!
My dream is to travel the world, vlog it and I will make it happen. Your videos continue to inspire me! Thank you for being genuine
Wow! 🙏 thats some well deserved tribute you made, beautifull and soo intresting 💚☘️💞 thankyou!
Have you ever thought about walking around the UK??? Its my dream to walk the entire UK coastline one day ...but I'd love to also see the rest of the amazing countryside these shores have yo offer... seeing you walk around Ireland has made me want to come see your beautiful country too
Great tribute Derek. Nice to learn about people like dervala in which I never heard of before
hello chum ! fresh and well you are looking great story and i must admit you are a good story teller yourself i look forward to hearing your tale's and adventures it has inspired to go out and do a lot more thing's on my own, thanks, stay safe and keep well 👍⛺️💪🏻
Dervla wrote about my home district .... On a shoestring to coorg .... Thats how I discovered her writing over 30 years ago. Have devoured her books ever since .... I take all travel writing with a pinch of salt .... It is hard for a foreigner to truly understand a place and its people ..... Nevertheless her writing is very entertaining and inspiring
I have read some of Dervla's books. She was a true adventurer and a huge inspiration to me. Maybe I will travel to Lismore.....
Nice tribute Derek...well done!
That was a definate sign in the B&B. Stunning scenery on your walks. You are getting great weather. Excellent video.
Good on you, Derek, for your moving tribute to Dervla. Am ploughing through 'The Island That Dared'/sub-titled 'Journeys in Cuba'. In late 2005, first accompanied by her daughter Rachel and Rachel's three young daughters 6, 8 and ten! No bikes, but catching buses, and trains, cadging lifts etc… Highly recommended, and NEVER boring! Dervla later returned alone, walking alone, in late 2007. Full of info about the history of Cuba, and her [flawed] hero, Fidel Castro…

Watching your videos I always learn something. Thank you ❤️
She seems like an amazing woman since I began following you some videos featuring her popped up on my feed that I skipped by... il most certainly go back and find them and watch and learn about her 🙏👍
Dervla was a bleedin star, unreal.
Beautiful tribute to Dervla. Thanks Derek.
Great show thanks for sharing
When they put the final tombstone or whatnot in, it should say something like. Traveling all of heaven now.
Fair play man your brill keep going. We the irish neèd education of our history. Plus the people over seas need to know esp if there irish where they come from. Some dont know there irish. Where is her daughter and her grandkids was there anny. You nailed IT ONCE AGAIN WHAT AMAZING LADY
That was beautiful. So interesting and moving.
Love your stuff man. May I say that the grave could be that way as that's what the person may have wanted. As you said, she appears to have been very unpretentious. Who knows. Either way she was a great head and may she rest in peace. Myself and a friend have pedalled fro Waterford to that graveyard and enjoyed the spot as a sort of pilgrimage Stay safe and I hope the road treats ya well
Love the shave!! Looking very clean and smart :-)
Thank you too for so much insight into Dervla Murphy. I had never heard of her but love how you summed her life up and agree she deserves some recognition. I will definitely look her up now. I wonder if she wanted a simple grave. It sounds as though she never sought recognition but did what she enjoyed - and although possibly for the benefit of others, maybe not expecting their thanks or acknowledgement. She sounds a very lovely person - a character we could all learn much from. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Nice tribute..
