Vlog about cycling from Killearn to Rowardennan on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond. The route takes in a section of the National Cycle Network route 7, then follows the B837 to Balmaha, then takes the same road all way to end at Rowardennan.
Vlog: Walking up Earl’s Seat
Neil and myself walking from Killearn up to Earl’s Seat, the highest of the Campsie Fells which are a range of hills in central Scotland. During the walk, you get to see great views of Glasgow, Dumgoyne, Loch Lomond and where the lowlands turn into the highlands.

Vlog: First EVER HD vlog! (Re-edited)
I am sure you, will have all, seen this pointless vlog by now! It was my very first test vlog filmed with my new Sony HDR-CX570E HD video camera. I am now trying to get my head around using Windows Live Movie Maker. So have now added a title and credits to this vlog. Please let me know what you think!!
BBC to make 24 HD live Olympic streams
OMG! That’s great news! Just think 24 HD channels of fit lads wearing all sorts of sexy gear! From cycling skinsuits, to wetsuits, to tight running suits! So glad I have Freesat HD on my 32″ TV. Only bad thing, it can only record 2 channels at a time. Maybe it’s time to get another Freesat HD+ PVR :).

Just ordered a Sony HDR-CX570E HD camcorder
Some great news for the website, but not so good for my bank account. I have just gone and ordered a Sony HDR-CX570E HD camcorder. Which has set me back, £515.17.
In the next number of weeks you can all look forward to some HD vlogs on my YouTube channel @ www.youtube.com/gsvalentine.
If you have any ideas for new vlogs then let me KNOW! One thing, I know for sure, I will be wearing Lycra or a wetsuit :).
Rutland Water cycle
I can’t get over just how good the weather has been for the last week. Been warm and sunny just about every day. Which is good news for me, since I am way behind on the number of miles I want to do on my bike this month. Since I was in Scotland for 1 week, only got to use my bike once that I got a flat tyre and did not have any tools in Scotland to fix it :(. By the end of the month I want to do at least 450 miles, right now I have only done 186.7, which also includes the cycle I did today. So need to do at least another 265 miles before the month is out 2 be happy with myself.
Anyways on with today’s nice cycle. I made up my mind, since it’s a great day to cycle to Ruland Water, which is not that far at all from my place, so only a short cycle. Only did 24.5 miles, but I do really like cycling to Rutland Water, it was so busy. Don’t think I have ever seen it so busy on a week day. Then I think that’s got a lot 2 do with lots of schools being off. But I got a ice-cream while there, which is one of the reasons I went :).
So other than the great cycle, not much at all 2 tell you. Other than at long last Channel 4 HD has been added to Freesat, it can be found on channel 126. Meaning that Freesat now got 4 HD channels and all for free. Now got BBC1 HD, BBC HD, ITV1 HD and of course Channel 4 HD. Yes I do really like my HD stuff.
