Here we go, this is the latest offering (other years are available).

Nice. I don't have a brothel to stick it in the front window of, but if I did it would definietly be there.

An encouraging thing is that I follow/am Facebook friends with some outdoors writers (RL friends of someone I see rarely outside Facebook) and a lot of their losts that are not about the outdoors are about pseudoscience and quackery and why vaccination is good.

I think one mentioned the criticism of Waitrose for stocking that magazine

What is an outdoors writer? Do they write about hiking and stuff?
