I had a 6 mile naked walk in Sherwood Forest today at 11 am. It was 6 degrees with a feels like of 3 degrees. The sun shone the whole time but the wind was cold at times. I only met a guy with about 8 dogs all having a sniff at me but all friendly enough. I also met a woman as I was getting back into my car to go home. She was friendly enough and commented that she was surprised it was warm enough to be naked and she was even more surprised when I told her I had just walked 6 miles.

I am more conscious at this time of year that people seeing you naked in the garden, walking in woods, driving a car naked will thing you are more strange than in the summer where most people haves less clothes or at least lighter ones, so less likely to not cover up if I see someone.

Was a bit nippy out there today, managed a swift walk for about a hour or so.Was a lot warmer last weekend when I managed a couple of hours both days.
I can tick January off my monthly walk plan, not that means I wont be going out again will make the most of it before I go back to work on Monday.

I have been on holiday over the new year so today was the first naked walk of the new year. About 11 am went for a naked walk in Sherwood Forest. I am a little disappointed at the amount of forestry work and trees felled to create a better environment for the RSPB. I means that the area is a lot more open than it was. I Walked for just over 6 miles in 2 hours. it was 6 degrees C but sunny with a NW wind which was a little cool at times.I met 5 young women who said hello. A man and woman who were watching birds through binoculars, an elderly couple and another man and woman who were very friendly. Everyone  seemed happy enough, another very enjoyable walk.

Yeah they've made a right bloody mess taking down the tree's, especially over the common where it is now difficult to walk, the ruts are knee deep in places and there's mud everywhere. They have even run over fences in places. I know it's to preserve nature but it makes you wonder sometimes. Some of the trees that have been removed have been there for many years, not all totally necessary if you ask me.

I agree it looks more like vandalisation than preservation to me and it must be costing thousands. This is what it is supposed to be about budby work

I like the title Baring all for wildlife. 🙂

Unfortunate for us that takes away some of the screening, but it's part of properly managing the nature reserve. Living on a different timescale often seems to make the loss of trees seem like the removal of things which feign permanance they never really had (apart maybe from the 800yo oaks they definitely are not cutting down).

Shame it doesn't mention glowworms in the blurb there. If any of you take a moonlit nude walk out that way this kind of work should mean seeing more of them in the summer, which is quite a magical thing. The deadwood is important too, when Natural England were managing the site they had a habit of taking it all away which was one of the worst things they could have done for the wildlife.

The larger conifer plantations such as on the Birklands side of things should stay, and provide cover for those who need it, it's an area I've found handy.

This post reminded me that after Michael Fish's infamous hurricane the Kent and Sussex woodlands which received no "recovery" work regenerated faster than those which had human interference.

It wasn't really forecast but the sun shone again this morning so I just had to get out for another naked walk in Sherwood Forest. Walked for about 6.5 miles met two couples and a cyclist. everyone said hello and appeared happy, I think the sunshine helps.

I managed a hour or so both Saturday and Sunday afternoon, Saturday was a bit miserable and at some point started to rain, was quite refreshing to be honest. Sunday was bit warmer  but windy, again refreshing and quite nice to be fare. Only saw people in the distance.

At ten o clock this morning I went for a naked walk in Sherwood Forest with Brian Sinclair. The skies were very grey and it was windy so we headed for the area in the trees for a little shelter as we walked. That was quite a good plan until we emerged out into the open about half way round the 5 mile walk when the heavens opened and it poured down. I was so wet and so was my bag with some clothes in it that I decided to stay naked. It was not so bad in fact I quite enjoyed it. We met a few people on the way round and everyone was ok and some had a few friendly words with us. Brian can walk at a good pace and I really enjoyed his company. Looking forward to more accompanied walks as the weather improves.

As David says we had a bracing walk yesterday which started well but was interrupted by a real winter downpour. I really enjoyed being out naked in the open, despite the cold. David's open approach to engaging with the textile walkers we met taught me a great deal on how to behave confidently on nude hikes.
I need more practice to get up to David's ideal pace and stay warm in winter weather. I am looking forward to more walks with him and any other Naturist ramblers in the Nottinghamshire area.

I went for a 6 mile walk today, it was very cold and I didn't stay naked for long. Hoverer I met the warden and had a chat with her. She has promised that all of the disruption will be gone before the summer and caterpillar tracks will have been re graded. Some of the larger trees that have been pulled over are to be left just lying where they are. Its part of the plan to provide habitat for who know what. She told me that there have been reports to the Visitors Centre that there are naked people walking in the forest. There have also been some photographs taken which have been shown to the Visitor Centre staff, so some of you are film stars. She has told the visitor Centre staff that we are the local naturists and no action should be taken. Apparently to my surprise I am not in any of them. The warden said that she has no problems with naturists as long as there are no incidents of inappropriate behaviour. I told her that naturists are less likely to cover up since the police guidance which I provided for her. She understands that is likely to be the case and of course I pointed out that now there is less cover we are more likely to be seen. So far so good.

Nice one David, keep up the good work.
Pleased to know they are going to tidy things up a bit as some places are a real mess at the minute.
Shouldn't think it's me on any photo's as I don't usually see many people except from a distance.
I was out Sunday for a hour, bit chilly out there though.
I wonder how many of us are out there, especially in the warmer times.
