Well that's made my Friday 🙂

Had a couple of free hours today so I went for a nude stroll in a newly planted wood area.  This area is pretty big - I guess it's a 20 minute walk round the outside.  Imaging a meadow with long grass but with clumps of young trees above head height, that give a bit of cover.  But stil lots of open grass area.

I've wandered around there twice before and usually I would walk round to make sure it was deserted and then strip off.

Well this time I though, this place is big enough and there are enough criss crossing paths to go down if I see anyone.  So I arrived, found a sheltered spot to disrobe and set off walking.

Today it's been sunny with cloud but as I started to stroll the sun came out and it was wonderful. So nice in fact, that instead of sticking to the safe, criss cross paths I took a deep breath and headed for the main path around the edge.  Now the area is on a fairly steep hill so with the clumps of trees and the hill it's impossible to see more than 50 meters ahead - less in places.  But I thought what the hell - I'm enjoying it.

Nearly time to dress and head back to the car, I headed along the main path toward the place where most people enter the wood.  There's a dirt track running alongside the path I was on with a hedgerow separating the path from the track except in a few places where there are gaps to walk through.

So almost to the end of the path I stepped into one of the gaps just to make sure the track was clear before I walked right to the end.  As I peered round the hedge I spotted a chap coming up the track with his dog.  Thinking he looked like he was going to carry on along the track I ducked back from the gap and carried on walking along my path.

Next thing I know, his dog apears in the next gap, about 5 yards on from where I was, and runs past me. So at that moment I knew the gentleman was about to emerge from the gap onto my path.  Seconds later the middle aged, builder-looking-bloke steps through the gap and turns to follow the dog.  I think he had seen me through the hedge because he didn't seem startled - although I'm not sure he expected to see me naked!

Until I started reading about peoples experiences in this and other naturist forums I would have probably gone into panic mode and sprinted into the trees and thistles to escape where I could then dress and run home in a cold sweat.

Not this time.  I had already walked off the path to avoid someone earier and my legs are covered in tramlines from the tall thistles - not very pleasant.  So I wasn't about to do that again.

I looked at the chap, smiled. Nodded and said 'alright'.  He looks at me and says 'alright' although not smiling (probably in shock).  With that I strolled past him and carried on down the path as he continued walking the other way.

The feeling at that instant was amazing. Suddenly I felt a true naturist. Walking naked because I have a right to do so and not hiding and feeling guilt.

Such a good feeling it was that instead of heading back to the car I wanted to walk on down the path some more.  No longer worried if someone came up the other way - now I was ready and prepared to smile sweetly (I can't help it) and not be ashamed of my nudity.  Of course nobody else came - typical!

So then I walked back up the hill. Stopped and dressed near the entrance, and went back to the car and came home feeling great.

Now I have to spend a frustrating weekend clothed because it's only my weekday work that gives me the chance to get out there and do my thing when it's not too busy.  Hey I don't mind meeting textiles now but I don't want to attract a weekend crowd 🙂

Still smiling and definately feeling nude under these clothes 🙂
