Watch My Bicycle Touring Videos

Here, you can watch the videos Garry’s made as he’s travelled around on his bike. They may not be of the highest quality, but might just raise a smile!

All the videos here have, at some point, appeared on the various social media channels that Garry blogs on. But they are all brought together here in one place.

You can watch them here, or you can watch them on Garry’s social media channels, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and watch them there.

Whatever way, you choose to watch them. Just remember Garry’s no Steven Spielberg and only does them to give a sense of where he is and what he’s experiencing!

Bicycle Touring Video: England, Brighstone To Bognor Regis | Travelsonabike2

Brighstone To Bognor Regis, England | Bicycle Tour Video

Take a look at my latest cycling England video, Brighstone to Bognor Regis, posted on my YouTube channel today. It’s the video version of the post I wrote on the 2nd of November 2025 while on tour. After surviving another windy night, I’ve decided to leave Grange Farm and possibly head home. I’m undecided. Which is highly unusual for me!?!

I really need to look at what I’m filming. I went to say goodbye to the farm animals, but they were hiding in their hut, so you can only just about see one of the goats. Once I’m out of the campsite, there’s a nice tailwind, which will help me up the 12% climb up Shorwell Shute. It doesn’t get any easier, no matter how many times I’ve done it.

There’s a campsite in the New Forest that I want to try, and I start to wonder whether to go there today instead of going home. But I seem to talk myself out of it even as I talk about it! I wasn’t in any rush for the ferry until I realised that if I didn’t get this one, I’d have to wait an hour and a half for the next one. Once back in Portsmouth, it’s a nice, sunny ride along the seafront, and the cycle path that runs beside Langstone Harbour is busy with dog walkers. Out of Portsmouth, it’s not long before I arrive in Chichester, where it’s a short ride home.

You can watch the video below or on my YouTube channel. But to be honest, it won’t be any more enjoyable wherever you watch it! You can also subscribe to my YouTube channel. You’ll then be amongst the first to know when I release a new video.

Brighstone Camping | A Day in Camp | Bicycle Tour Video

Brighstone, Isle of Wight Camping | a Day in Camp | Bicycle Tour Video

Take a look at my latest bicycle tour video, Brighstone camping, posted on my YouTube channel today. It’s the video version of the post I wrote on the 1st of November 2025 while on tour. Well, I managed to survive last night’s storm, camped on the cliffs at Grange Farm, just. I was up at 2 am securing the tent. It was so windy that I packed all my gear away, thinking that I might have to abandon the tent and leave.

But now the wind has changed direction, I need to turn the tent, which in the wind that’s still blowing might not be that easy. With the tent facing a different direction, it’s a lot less draughty, and I can unpack my gear. And decide to head into Brightstone for some supplies. That didn’t work out too well either when I got caught in the rain on the way back to camp.

Brockenhurst To Brighstone | Bicycle Tour Video: Autumn 2025

Garry McGivern bicycle touring across hampshire and the Isle of Wight

Brockenhurst to Brighstone, England | Bicycle Tour Video

Take a look at my latest bicycle tour video, Brockenhurst to Brighstone, posted on my YouTube channel today. It’s the video version of the post I wrote on the 31st of October 2025 while on tour. Apologies for the rather dark start to the video. As in light, not dark, as in sinister. I hadn’t realised it was so bad. I was in the tent packing away my pannier. But it’s not for long, as I soon leave camp.

The New Forest is full of autumnal colours and puddles. I hadn’t realised how much rain must have fallen overnight. As I cycle through the New Forest, I bump into a familiar face. Out of the forest, I’m cycling on the busy roads heading for Lymington and the Isle of Wight ferry. But I have a change of mind and head for the quieter cycle route instead.

Once I’m on the Isle of Wight, it’s a tough ride; there’s a strong wind, which gets even harder as I change direction and have to cycle uphill directly into the wind. Luckily, it’s only a short ride across the island, and I’m soon at Grange Farm. I now have to battle the wind to put up my tent. Which, being on the cliff, isn’t exactly sheltered from the strong southerly wind. Will I survive the night?

You can watch the video below or on my YouTube channel. But to be honest, it won’t be any more enjoyable wherever you watch it! You can also subscribe to my YouTube channel. You’ll then be amongst the first to know when I release a new video.

Langton Matravers To Brockenhurst | Bicycle Tour Video

Travelsonabike2 Video 8th February 2026 Cobbles, house and church

Langton Matravers to Brockenhurst, England | Bicycle Tour Video

Take a look at my latest Travelsonabike2 bicycle tour video, Langton Matravers to Brockenhurst, posted on my YouTube channel today. It’s the video version of the post I wrote on the 30th of October 2025 while on tour. After leaving my overnight stop at Tom’s Field, I continued up the hill to Corfe Castle.

After Corfe Castle, I took a different route to the Sandbanks ferry. Although I may not take that route again, it was rather hilly. But the hard ride was worth it with the view I had looking out over Poole Harbour. And the ride down the hill to the ferry was a freewheeling, fast ride. Cycling along Bournemouth seafront was windy, but at least it was behind me. Although I wasn’t impressed with the sand blowing onto my bike. Especially onto the chain.

Off the seafront, I encounter a closed road, but it works to my benefit, eventually. It doesn’t take long before I’m back in the New Forest amongst the ponies, and I’m soon at the campsite. Preparing for a rough night under canvas.
