As the professional shit-stirrer who started all these book club shenanigans, D. H. Laurence Baldwin (not pictured) has finally done something useful with his evil genius and produced a totally relevant and insightful book review. Enjoy! Book Review: "Feed Zone Portables" Every now and again these lovely looking jam rice cakes pop up tagged with #feedzoneportables...
BBRC's resident fecalpheliac Ross Hay's account of his 'backyard movements'.... The 25th June saw me at the starting line of my first Backyard Ultra at Witikon in Zurich.
