Reporting him is very reasonable, this is harassment, I suppose as a naturist it's not easy to have that conversation with the police. I don't know I'd feel comfortable enough to do that.

As suggested I'd probably take his picture and tell him you'll be sending it to the police and landowners. 

Still haven't noticed the guy myself. The behaviour sounds weird, I suppose any recognised naturist location attracts these people too. 

I'm up there a lot and haven't experienced anything like this, so although it's right to make us aware, I hope it doesn't put anyone off.

@the-tibetan-hat 

Didn't mean to put anyone off, it's only happened to me three times and as I'm out most days the odds off someone else being hassled is slim.

There were at least five naturists out this evening and one of them a female.

Next time I see him I will confront him, I think.

Lovely out there again today.

Did have a laugh as I returned to my car. I was exiting from a small path surrounded by weeds onto the main cycle route and an older woman with a black lab walked straight across my path, I stood perfectly still. It felt like an eternity and she didn't see me for ages, If I'd walked forward I would have fell over her so I just stood and waited, and waited and waited. Eventually she looked up and saw me, "sorry I was miles away, you squeeze past love" Never blinked an eye at my nudity, I thanked her and walked to the car, I'd normally dress in that area if someone was about but couldn't see the point.

Couple of first timers to Budby out there this evening. We stopped and chatted for a few minutes, they asking how.it worked and where they could walk.

Certainly picked a nice evening for it, warm and very quiet. 

As  I walked through a wooded area off the common I saw a large bird of prey catch, kill and carry off a.squirel. Also saw a young fox, 1st I've seen for quite a while.

Nice evening? i'm just south of you and have been having heavy rain. Did manage to get some long trotting in on the river between showers.

Met another new face today, a guy from Stoke on Trent, 

Also came across a couple lost in a less popular part of the common, think they were glad to see me. 🤔

@tribalbrit Naturist couple or textile? “Naked man to the rescue” would make an interesting headline!

Noli illegitimi te carborundum

Textile.

It happens quit a bit, people wander off the main paths and loose their bearings.

@tribalbrit 

I carry a ruck sack with almost a mini field hospital in it. I have led a number of people off hills and Munro's. Also wrapped up a number of sprained ankles and knees.

@tribalbrit I know I don't go to the forest as much as you, but so far I have only met Gildo when I've been ambling naked, until Thursday, when I saw another naturist from a distance (it's easy to tell - no one else I've seen wears a pink onesie). So delighted was I that I made a beeline towards him as an act of collective support. Only when I got to him did I think that he may have been much happier on his own. Anyway I apologised for disturbing him and we had a good chat. So there we are, I've now seen two naturists in South Forest.

@swimmer51 

Think I have met 6 naturists in the last two weeks and only one that I have met before.

Long trotting? 

Its a method of fishing where you control a float as it runs down river by keeping line behind float and holding it back so bait goes through at the natural speed of the slower water further down. Not like your more modern 'garden gnome' style fishing.

26 degrees out there at 6 pm today, absolutely scorching. I would have paid good money to be able to climb into one of those cow troughs  except they are disgusting, green slimy water, I wouldn't let my dog drink it.

No wonder the cows are never stud with their heads in there.

@tribalbrit  I was up the hills today. Sun shining, 15c, very little wind and the place was empty.

Deserted here too, to hot for most I think.
