Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 is bicycle touring England on Wednesday, the 26th-October-2017. Bognor Regis to Portsmouth. 32 miles. Things are looking up I’ve managed to get away again! Well, they are in the fact that I’m off on the bike again, but apart from that, they’re not!
On my trip to France the other week, I developed that spot on my bum again, which wasn’t painful at the time. But on my return home, it seemed to get worse. Becoming very painful and swollen! In the end, it became so bad I went to the doctor (something nice for him to look at!) Anyway, after an examination, he said that I’d got cellulitis and was given a course of antibiotics to take.
I’ve also been told that there is a very strong possibility that I’ve got arthritis in my hips! I’m waiting for the results of an x-ray I had. And to top it all, my back went the other day, and I’ve been getting shooting pains down my left leg again. Although I seem to have relieved the pain now by upping a couple of my tablets!
Looking Forward
Apart from all my medical problems I’m in good spirits and looking forward to a few days away cycling, providing everything holds out!
I’m en route to France once again. This time, I’m heading for St Malo! Which wasn’t planned at all. I was going to go back to Le Havre and head to Paris, but for some unknown reason, I’m now heading further south! I might still head for Paris I really don’t know! I’ll look at the maps tonight and then make a decision, possibly!

We saw you cycling on seafront THursday pm back towards Felpham so you didn’t get far. You are falling apart at the seams
I might be falling apart but at least the eyes aren’t too bad yet! Are you sure it was me?
Positive
I really don’t think it was me I was on my way to Portsmouth!
St Malo – that where we met in 2015
I can’t believe he gave you antibiotiic. You’re only fit for cycling.
My bike has been pinched so I’ll have to look for a second hand one.
what about your tackle – that’s the main thing
It certainly was! Cycling’s the only thing I’ve been able to do for ages!
