Completely beyond me how the Guardian can use a photo of the wrong rider in an article. They also seem insistant on using photos of riders snowboarding badly, messing up their trick. I want to know the process of choosing these images. I can't imagine it happening in mainstream sport. Nice 10 Things Matt, cheers. Perfect for a slow day in the office in a VERY rainy Aime-La-Plagne.
I am enjoying Underland (although I just switched to Chums halfway through for a bit of a break) but that style is ...very particular, let's put it that way.
Thanks for the link to Kathleen Jamie's piece, that articulates better than I have ever been able to why I don't get on with Macfarlane's writing, despite it being constantly recommended to me.
I'd be interested to know if there are other Substack's you'd recommend? (I think I found Running High on your suggestion). I'm relatively new to the platform but really enjoying having thought full longform things to read!

Pretty funny little read.
Yep that's the one
With you and Kathleen Jamie on Robert McFarlane et al. Her LRB essay is brilliant - just ordered one of her books as a result!

Yeah it’s a great piece eh? Think you might enjoy Miscellaneous Adventures and Sam Haddad’s Substack pages
Thanks Matt!
