“Naturists, I admit, do sometimes get a bad press, but
as with any activity, pursuit, special interest, call-it-what-you-will, it is
the extremists at either end of the spectrum who probably cause most of the
problems.” – Paul Rouse, http://www.naturisttravel.net/reviews_view.asp?t=+The+silent+majority&id=966&cid=2&scid=120
“A woman does not have to be modest to be respected!”

“I have walked naked for many years and found it
possible to spend most of my time walking naked in forest, moorland,
countryside and mountainous areas. . . When walking naked it is always
important to look confident. I never try
to hide or run away or act any differently to the way I would if I were
clothed. When walking in open
countryside moorland or other open areas it is easy to see anyone in the
distance. If I can see that I am likely
to encounter someone I do not know and I can’t deviate my walk a little to
avoid walking very close to them, I usually leisurely put my wrap on while
still walking when they are close enough to be able to see me put it on. (I always use a wrap in preference to shorts
it can be put on in seconds whereas shorts can be very difficult over boots or
shoes and looks very clumsy as well as taking too long). I believe that this signals that I have no
intention of causing alarm or distress, I always say hello and often talk to
people and let them know I am a naturist.
As soon as I am past them I remove my wrap or remove it sooner if they
say that they do not have a problem with me being naked, which is usually the
case. If I do not have to pass in close
proximity to anyone I do not usually put my wrap on. When walking in areas where it is not
possible to see if people are around there are several things I have
learned. It is often possible to know if
anyone has walked a trail before you because if no one has been there for
several hours you will most likely encounter cobwebs across your path and you
will feel them on your body as you pass through them. If you see or hear lizards or small animals
scurrying about at the sides of the tracks you are walking, it is likely no one
has passed that way for some time. If
there are flocks of birds or even single birds around watch which way they fly
off. If they fly away from you it is likely
no one has been around for a while. If
they fly more towards you it is likely that there is someone in front of
you. Listen for tell-tale signs like a
dog barking in the distance or people talking, the sound of pheasants or
partridges taking of as they have been disturbed by someone. Dogs that are not on a lead usually walk in
front of their owners and there has been many an occasion when I have seen a
dog appearing from round a corner, which has given me enough time to put my
wrap on or just hold it or my bag in front of me before the owner appears. . .
Walking in a group of 3 or more people is a lot less likely to raise suspicion
than a lone male walker. . . I can genuinely say that in more than 40 years of
walking naked I have never seen any sign of alarm or distress displayed by any
person I have encountered.” - David Gilderdale, http://www.bn.org.uk/activities/frn_experience
