The inspirational adventurer and endurance cyclist Emily Chappell joins us to discuss her acclaimed books and remarkable life story.
Emily Chappell was not sporty at school, but when she reached her mid-20s, she gave up her office job and made up for lost time. In 2016, she cycled 4000km in 13 days, from Belgium to Turkey, to become the first woman home in The Transcontinental race. Her account of the experience, 'Where There's a Will', part-travelogue, part-open-hearted memoir, was nominated at the 2020 Daily Telegraph Sports Books of the Year awards.
Emily will be discussing how she changed her life and her other epic journeys (Anchorage to Seattle; Wales to Japan; across Iceland) in an evening of evocative and inspiring conversation with former Procycling magazine writer, Duncan Steer.

DUNCAN STEER
Duncan Steer worked for everyone from Smash Hits to Saga magazine, via The Guardian and Independent before specialising in hosting live interview events around the country.
Past and future guests at the Nutshell include Tour de France commentators Matt Rendell and Carlton Kirby, ex-undercover detective Christian Plowman and adventurer Emily Chappell. “I want these to be great nights out in the company of someone who has taken an unusual path through life,” he says, “Like a live chat show, rather than some kind of dusty-dry ‘talk’.”
