I thought I would put these in one place, mainly so it makes it easier when I talk to investors / discuss advertorial opportunities with A-COLD-WALL and Rick Owens...

Good grief, it's creps not crepes. Unless it's an Alain Robert pun that I've missed.

Surely there should be an option to pay in Bitcoin?

Argh, new Illustrator has started autocorrecting.
Good call re BTC.

Sadly the twitter handle is taken - though they've not used it since 2014 so a LC branded pumpkin seed sourdough loaf might persuade them to part with it...

One eighth of their tweets involves Gresh.


Possible idea for next issue. The London Climber guide to the dankest sends on Southern Sandstone?

@LDNCLMBR is free though, and probably more on brand 😄

Brilliant as always! So good. I guess DT’s essay didn’t make the editorial deadline.

No - it'll be in the next edition, which also features a John Redhead profile by Grayson Perry, plus Robert Macfarlane's essay Giants and Fairies - The Folkloric Mythology of Raven Tor...

I will upload the Meades article when it has been copyedited.

I honestly think you should start an Instagram account and post these covers up and nothing else. No instructions as to how or where to buy. If anybody asks you just cryptically comment that you do limited print runs for those in the know and you need to be referred by a subscriber to get a copy. If you made the articles just ever so slightly less piss-takey people would be going absolutely apeshit trying to figure out how to become cool enough to get a copy.

A true student of the human condition right here.

Absolutely, do what he says.

There could also be a market for a podcast which is released only on vinyl or cassette?

Maybe the next issue could ask people to stop snapping SS routes?

No we're only interested in the Mabley boulder grade debate.

Wills idea is so perfect it wouldn't be more trashbat if it had been conceived in The Dove...
