Cars in front of a showroom

Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 YouTube video, Bicycle Touring England 19th April 2024, was posted on his YouTube channel today, the 28th-April-2024. Garry’s still in the New Forest. He had intended to move on today, but after receiving a phone call late yesterday afternoon his plans have changed. And they might have changed for the long term.

As Garry is staying in the New Forest, he decides to go for a ride into Lyndhurst. And for a change, he decides to take an off-road route through the forest to get there. It’s only a brief visit to Lyndhurst; Garry’s not very good at playing the tourist. But while he’s there he gets car envy when looking in a car showroom.

Gravel track through forest

Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 YouTube video, Bicycle Touring England 18th April 2024, was posted on his YouTube channel today, the 27th-April-2024. Garry’s staying in the New Forest for the day; he wants to try out his new tarp. Once Garry has worked out how his tarp is going to work with his tent, he goes for a ride around the campsite before heading into Brockenhurst to get supplies for the day.

On his ride into Brockenhurst, Garry comes across a stricken lorry stuck in a ditch. Then, as Garry cycles through a Ford (no, he doesn’t fall off this time), some idiot in a car coming the other way decides to give Garry a soaking. He’s not happy.

Travelsonabike2 England This Day 26th-April-2018

Looking out from a tent overlooking trees

This week’s Travelsonabike2 on this day post comes from England on the 26th-April-2018. I’m in the UK and struggling to ride. I’d needed a hip replacement a couple of years ago but was still waiting. And now my hip was incredibly painful. So much so that I was struggling to cycle twenty miles each day. Today may have been one of my longer days.

Thursday 26th April 2018. Lingfield to Washington. 33 miles.

Well, I’m certainly dragging this ride out; I’m still not home! It’s just all a bit too painful. On any other ride, I would have been home yesterday. But it doesn’t matter, if I was home, I’d only spend all day down the pub.

Man on track
It’s me

As difficult as I’m finding this cycle camping malarky. I’m really enjoying it, not the pain, obviously, but everything else. I think it’s also helping my health more than usual. Usually, when I’m away touring, I tend to have quite a few beers in the evening. But not on this one. I’ve only been having one or two. It’s too painful having to get up in the night.

I think I’ll definitely be home tomorrow, but you never know!!

Horses in field

Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 YouTube video, Bicycle Touring England 17th April 2024, was posted on his YouTube channel today, the 26th-April-2024. Finally, there’s a break in the bad weather, so Garry’s off for a few nights under canvas. He bought a new tarp a few weeks ago and is keen to try it out. But as usual, Garry is undecided as to where he’s going to end up for the night.

Once Garry decides where he’s going, he has a strong headwind to contend with. Despite the headwind, Garry makes good progress and arrives at camp mid-afternoon. Garry also gives an update on his neck as he cycles along.
