The Post
Journey with us to incredibly beautiful places: Makgabeng, Fforddlas, and Cleethorpes (yes, Cleethorpes). Find out why that ice cream parlour has a steeple on it, and about fish photography relativity, and whether the farmer was licked to death by his cows. All that and more wild fiction, plus a cat video.

"A collaborative guide, one that was written and kept up to date by the people who used it, in real time, might be a neat idea. I just didn't really realise that such a thing might be possible in my lifetime or how powerful such a thing might be."
