Public Nudity

I'd love to be able to go anywhere naked without fear of being reported to the plice and arrested. Some people are brave enough to do this, eg, Cambridge cyclist Richard Collins is known for regularly cyling naked around Cambridge where the police accepted that he was not acting illegally. However, he was recently arrested for cycling naked along Brighton Safront and charges unde Section 5 of Public Order ACT. Sect 5 means a person was acting in a manner likely to cause harm or distress. I'm certain that Richard had no intention of causing harm or distress and was just excercising his right to be clothes free. Unfortunately, modern society and the authorities themselves are unable to disassociate nudity from sexualual behaviour and in doing so displaying any nudity in public is incorrectly deemed to be wrong. Bearing in mind that public nudity events like WNBR seem to be accepted by the public and police Iincluding the one in Brighton), it is unfortunate that individuals who prefer to be naked in public are deemed to be acting illegally when in fact they are not. Public nudity iself is not illegal. Perhaps POA should be amended to ensure police officers themseleves are aware that simple nudity itself should not be deemed to intend alarm or distress and let us naturists enjoy the freedom of being clothes free anywhere without any harassment. Unfortunately, modern society is unlikely to accept simple nudity is wrong.

World Naked Bike Ride

I an looking forward to this year's World Naked Bike Ride again on 11th June.

This year it'll be my 4th year of taking part in this ride.

It's such a liberating feeling to be cycling naked in public through the centre of Manchester's City Centre.

It feels so normal that it's such a shame to put clothes on after the event!

Clothes free in public places

Ok, I know that most people dont expect to see naked people outdoors, except perhaps on a nudist beach. Being naked in public places is not actually illegal here in Uk, but in practice not many people would dare to do so.

Personally, I like the freedom of being clothes free anywhere I can. At times, I like to take the opportunity of being nude in places that nudists would not normally be accountered.

In urban areas, I only do this when it is very quiet and less chance of being spotted, eg early morning ar late at night. Being clothes fee in the countryside is easier , in the woods or in the mountains is easier as there are less textiles to encounter.

Here are some of my recent photos taken this weekend, which have a bit of a maritime feel.

I had a nice few hours clothes free yesterday afternnon on Newborough Beach- it was great feeling some early spring sunshine on my body.

I strolled along the beach collecting some old fishing ropes and spent some time in a beach shelter made of driftwood and old ropes.

Nude at work

Did anyone see that programme 'The Naked Office' on TV last year?

It would be so great to go to work naked like that everyday.

As you can see in my photo, I must admit that I have been nude in the office at times myself, but only when working late and there's nobody else about. I have also been tempted to lock up and walk nude to my car in the car park before driving home.

Please don't tell my boss though! ;-)

Nude but not Rude!

I am proud to say that I am a naturist, ie, I enjoy the freedom of being clothes free whenever I can - at home, on the beach or in the countryside.

Modern society seems to equate nude with rude, which is incorrect.

Simple nudity is not illegal here in UK, although it is not normally practised in public areas unless on a naturist beach or in organised events such as the World Naked Bike Ride. I other places like Barcelona, public nudity is quite legal even on the streets!

It's a shame that modern society cant seem to accept that simple nudity is not rude!

Freehiking

Now that it's started warming up a bit after a long winter, I'm looking forward to doing some freehiking again.
There's no better way to enjoy the great doutdoors than to go hiking clothes free in the mountains.
I have no intention of offending anyone, so when I go hiking I always watch out for others and have a pair of shorts close to hand in case I need to cover up.
