Since, I now, have a car windscreen mount for my Garmin Virb Elite. I get some use of out it! So here is a short video. While driving from Anniesland Cross to Happendon Services via the Clyde Tunnel & the M74.
My favourite bit of the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony
While in Cyprus we got chatting about our favourite bits from the Glasgow 2014, Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony.
I love the bit filmed in George Square, when Amy MacDonald sings – Rhythm of my Heart.

Vlog: Driving through the Clyde Tunnel
Myself driving through the Clyde Tunnel in Glasgow. From Whiteinch to Linthouse. At some point, I also really need to get my Lycra on and cycle through it! Using the cycleway and a pedestrian path that runs below each of the vehicle tunnels. Bad that I have never done it, since I grow up near to Glasgow!
For more information about the Clyde Tunnel check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clyde_Tunnel.

Video : Glasgow Underground 1975
I am so more of you will find this video very boring. But since I grow up in Glasgow and I love this sort of stuff. It’s a look at the Glasgow Underground. 17th February 1975.
I am sure many of you, will not even know that Glasgow got a underground system. It’s also the third-oldest underground system in the world after the London Underground and the Athens Metro.
