Whilst out riding today I saw something that I have not seen for years. A discarded gentleman’s magazine around some country lanes.

We used to actively seek them out when we were younger (and were quite successful at it!).

It was a kind of right of passage for young lads that alas has fallen by the wayside. That kind of thing is too easy to get hold of nowadays!!

Which one? Worth prising the pages apart for?

If it’s Mayfair, email in profile 😀

Ah, yes! Byway bongo, footpath filth, gravel grot, singletrack smut! A real right of passage, as you say.

It was raining so did not stop but it was either something very niche or it was open on the reader’s wives section!!

It would have to contain full on untamed growlers to be proper vintage.
Any topiary involved we are talking retro hedgerow porn at best.

Doing an Audax back in August and found a mound of them up near Oxenhope, mainly of the 50+ special interest variety, not a very common find anymore.

Ah, the joys of a trek round the local golf course, brings back the memories.

I almost feel obliged to buy some and leave it in bushes for the next generation.

the youth of today,they have it so easy..

#Hedgeporn..
Aces!

Razzle or readers wives? If readers wives, and contains images of a certain Janet from Hull, my good friend Robert will pay actual money for.
Razzle, i’ll give you a couple of dollars.

I used to deliver one on my paper round, iirc it was in a plastic wrapper even back then circa..1981/2.
inevitably it arrived a couple of days late..”escort” it was

Ah yes. You can’t beat a Gentleman’s Rhythm Pamphlet!

Oh, hang on, thinking about it, you probably can

I found a massive stack of niche men only grumble jotters out riding one day. There must have been 100+

😆
And yes, it’s been many a year since I last saw any in a hedge/barn entrance/wherever.
I guess the smartphone and good bandwidth has pretty much killed gravel grumble stone-dead.
Eh, when I were a lad, etc, etc, etc…

Ditch porn!
Oh the memories !!! Finding ditch porn in the 70’s and 80’s as a kid was by far one of those most hilarious rights of passage ever. Ranks right up there with discovering dads lawnmower petrol.

Technology advances, with the mags at least you knew what you looking at, once stopped to pick up a unmarked dvd. Turned out to be for experts only went straight in the bin 🙁

It was cheap.
It was dirty.
It was £1.30
