Travelsonabike2 YouTube Video 11th-May-2024

Bicycle Touring Video 11th-May-2024 Looking up a street lined with shops

Garry McGivern’s Travelsonabike2 YouTube video, Bicycle Touring England 30th, April 2024, was posted on his YouTube channel today, the 11th-May-2024. After getting some dates mixed up, Garry decides to get back on his bike and head down to the New Forest. Garry had also been stuck at home waiting for an appointment from the hospital. He needed to have some X-rays on his neck. But after waiting around for over a week, he’s given up.

It’s a late start for Garry, so instead of cycling down his usual route via Portsmouth and Gosport. He decides to take the top road. He surprises himself with how much he enjoys the ride. And that’s despite it being a lot hillier and on the main road. Of course, it might be due to a strong tailwind blowing him along.

Travelsonabike2 Australia This Day 10th-May-2012

This week’s Travelsonabike2 bicycle touring on this day post comes from Australia on the 10th-May-2012. I’m in Australia again this week and have reached my journey’s end, or at least my original finish.

Thursday 10th-May-2012. In Brisbane.

I put my bike in for a much-needed service this morning. Then, it was off to the ABC studios for a radio interview. Zoe (my cousin) had emailed the station, wondering if they’d be interested in my story. They were. Phil Smith was interviewing me for his weekly show “The Sunday Spin,” which is broadcast across Australia and South Asia. (listen to the interview here)

ABC had just moved to new studios, which were rather plush. Zoe and I were met at the reception by one of the girls from the show. And once we’d signed the visitor’s book, we were given our passes. The girl then took us through to the studio. It was a little daunting to sit in front of a huge microphone and all the different mixing machines around. It was a bit different from my last radio interview for Wave FM. Just before I left the UK, that was recorded outside sitting in the sun. Phil soon put me at ease, and I think the interview went reasonably well.

Errol and Zoe took me into Brisbane City this evening to meet up with the rest of my Australian family for a meal, which I really enjoyed.

Chorizo & Cabbage Stew Video

Potatoes onions and garlic on a choping board

Campsite cooking video Chorizo & Cabbage Stew. Garry’s camping in the New Forest for a few days, cooking some of his favourite one-pot campsite meals. They are the same meals Garry cooks at home. It’s just a little more challenging cooking in a tent on a tiny camping stove.

Bear in mind when watching the video that it’s not made in the comfort of a proper kitchen. It’s recorded live in the field. Or rather in Garry’s tent in the New Forest. And as Garry has always said, just because you’re camping, it doesn’t mean you can’t eat well. It just takes a little more effort.

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.
