Odd Photos July 2019

Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 July 2019 odd cycle touring photos. Photographs that Garry has taken while travelling around on his bike. Plus, photos that have appeared on the website over the past month.

A collection of photos that have appeared on the website throughout July and the various media platforms that Garry blogs on. There are plenty of photos this month as Garry spent nearly the whole of July on tour, and most of the images are from his daily updates, although there are a few extra ones.

And if you’ve not had enough of Garry’s photos here, there are plenty of different ones over on his Flickr page.
