Charley Boorman (2017 Event)
Motorcycle adventurer Charley Boorman experienced every rider’s worst fear when he was involved in a major road accident in 2016. Doubts were raised whether he would ever walk again, never mind get back on his bike, but in this event, recorded live at the 2017 Edinburgh International Book Festival, he recalls a long journey of recovery and how he contemplated many aspects of his life during his difficult rehabilitation. Chaired by Janet Ellis.
