I suppose my first real naturist experience was when I moved to Devon from the Midlands almost 40 years ago. I had, as a teenager, previously walked about in woods nearby naked, but never ever encountering anyone.
However, having a long stretch of beach, backed by dunes, and hot weather, I couldn't resist the temptation to strip off and go in the sea, and to my surprise, realised that there was a couple in close proximity who were as naked as I was.
They, being a little older, were more relaxed about it, but spoke to me, and I soon found myself at ease with other nude bodies about.
Over the next couple of days I encountered them again, and learned about the etiquette of naturism.
This lead me to join the now defunct North Devon Club, and started my love of naturism
