good thread, this
they are market driven, and not customer driven...
In that case the sad old Brits can't get enough wet fish.
When I first saw the range of carp porn (below) in a local newsagent I thought it was some sort of joke.
That German TF mag is worth it just for the pix and maps. What a shame an English-language version can't be sustained.
I used to love US Dirt Bike and UK Bike in the early 80s and learned so much from them. Even MCN was good. Now there's nothing much in any of them for me and it's not all due to internet, probably getting older and knowing what you like.
I think the mags today are trying every trick in the book but times have changed.
Chris Scott question: The next version of AMH; If you had to do it for free (e.g: never making any money) would you do it?
You may think I am joking but effectively I don't - and yes I still will. I like the work but I make my bread and butter in Sahara and odd jobs. I suspect the big trip I'm doing for the next AMH will cost more than I ever make from that edition, but will be great for the book, may spin off other things and will be a brilliant adventure.
