Category: Watch my Videos

Here you can watch the videos Garry’s made as he’s travelled around on his bike… which, 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!

YouTube Video Wednesday 15th-April-2020

Snow mountains

Garry McGivern’s YouTube video on Wednesday, 15th-April-2020. Another video was made from Garry’s Flickr photos. It’s October 2008, and Garry is wondering where he could go. That would be okay for a cycle tour. That would be warm! Spain, that’ll be warm.

With his destination sorted, Garry boarded the ferry to Spain. Unfortunately, it was far from warm and a lot more mountainous than he was expecting! But still an enjoyable trip, in the end!!

You can watch the video below or on Garry’s YouTube channel. But honestly, it won’t be any more enjoyable wherever you watch the video! You can also subscribe to his channel. You’ll then be amongst the first to know when Garry releases a new video.

YouTube Video Wednesday 6th-May-2020

Man on bike

Garry McGivern’s YouTube video on Wednesday, 6th-May-2020. Yet another YouTube video made out of boredom! It’s been forty-two days since the Covid-19 lockdown was imposed.

Garry’s been good and has obeyed the Covid-19 rules. But now he’s had enough of not going anywhere. And has decided to go away camping. But with no campsites open. Where will he end up?

MSR Hubba Tour 2 Still Isn’t Waterproof

Tent

The MSR Hubba Tour 2 tent still isn’t waterproof! The saga goes on.

It started when Garry bought his first Hubba Tour tent in 2017. After the tent fly failed, he returned it for repair. However, the new one wasn’t waterproof! After many calls to MSR, with many of them basically calling Garry a liar! Saying it was condensation and that nobody else had had this problem!! They eventually agreed to send him a replacement fly, which also leaked!

Once again, after many calls, he was sent another replacement, which, yes, you guessed it, also leaked! Garry was then sent yet another tent, which unsurprisingly also leaked! Garry was so annoyed that he posted a video on YouTube highlighting the problems!

After a few months, MSR got in contact, wanting to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, the timing was terrible. He’d just come out of intensive care after recovering from sepsis. Garry did send them an email explaining his situation, and they replied, saying no problems, get in touch when you’re better! Well, Garry eventually did send them an email at the beginning of 2019. It got ignored entirely, and he’s never heard anything since!

Not Giving Up

Liking the design and layout of the MSR so much, and the fact he’s not been able to find anything similar that suits his needs, he took matters into his own hands! And sealed the seams that were leaking, which he did in 2019, but despite over 5000 miles on the road last year, it never rained! Or rather not when he was camping!

After being asked the question on his YouTube channel. Is the tent okay now? It reminded him that he’d not tried it in the rain! Now with the country, in fact, much of the world in lockdown due to the Covid-19 outbreak! And with no end in sight, he’s decided to try it out in his garden.
