By the time you can tell that they disapprove it's too late so you might as well carry on but don't forget to have the BN public nudity guidelines handy with the link to the College of Policing Guidelines.

Just carry on and don't bother to cover up, the more of us out there walking naked can only be beneficial as it will no longer become unusual to see.  I passed around 10 people today and had really positive reactions, probably helped that I had a big smile on my face as everyone of them was kitted out in hat, gloves and large winter coat. Gives people something to talk about as they carry on their walk as well.

I really wouldnt be fussed about covering up in most places. If in woods there is often very little time to cover up anyway. I walk mainly hills and see people coming from a distance. I will often change direction to avoid a head on collision but if I cant then I will just say hello as I walk by. If I think there are youngsters in the oncoming textiles then I will put a wrap on.

Covering up is something we've spoken about before.  Louise and I have been enjoying naked rambles for quite a few years, and in the past we have faffed about with covering up, which is is quite easy for a bloke, but not so easy for a girl. 

Years ago we used to try and hide, which always looked a bit suspicious, and hiding is not so easy to do in open moorland.  I tried the wrap for a while, which was okay, but then I started place my hat over my bits, which was a lot quicker and easier. 

The hat idea wasn't such a great solution for Louise, especially when she said, “So I've got to wear three hats”. Point taken. 
Louise’s answer to the girly problem of covering has always been, to place a hand over her lower bits, and an arm across her boobs.  At the same time she’d give cheery hello to brake any icy situation that might occur, and she would also turn away slightly, so all they could see is her back and her bum.  She had been covering up in this way for years, and her girly logic is: ‘Bum’s are okay.  That’s what they show on TV when they want to show naked people without offending’. 

I’ve adopted Louise’s idea of turning away if I haven't got a hat handy, and we haven't had any problems.  The majority of people we’ve bumped into have given us positive remarks, like:  Nice day for it.  I wish I had the nerve, and some even stop to have a chat.  Obviously we’ve bumped into the occasional grumpy person, but thankfully they are fairly rare.

As we’ve got older we’ve become bolder, and because of the recent change in the naturism laws, we now don't bother to cover up, not even for kid’s, although we might turn away from them so all they see is our bum’s.
This has worked well for us, and we’ve done quite a few naked rambles this year without bothering to cover up, and like John Gw suggests, we have a BN nudity guideline leaflet with us.  We’ve only had one occasion this year when this idea of not covering up went a bit pear shaped. 
We were rambling naked on Dartmoor, and over the brow of a mound came a family of hikers.  No problem, they all looked happy and we stood to one side for them to pass.  Amongst their group was a little boy, who suddenly shouted as loud as he could, “MUM, THOSE PEOPLE HAVEN'T GOT ANY CLOTHES ON, THEY’RE NUDE”.  His mum eventually managed to shut him up, and they all trudged past looking suitably embarrassed while offering their apologies. 
No harm was done, and it still brings a smile to our faces when we think about it. 

They apologised to you! How delightfully British!

I often do nude walks without any clothes to cover up with but when I do, I take loose shorts a tee shirt so I can quickly put them on should I decide too. More often than not I'm with my dog, so first priority is always get the dog under control - not aggressive, just very over friendly, so often the roller lead covers my crotch, or if I havn't had time to put his lead on, then I'm bent over a little holding onto him; in addition with him being over friendly he doesn't get on with most other dogs and will run away. I do try to avoid people and don't walk in areas where I expect there to be people - once I did a 20 miles section of the pennine way (with the dog), intending to do most of it naked (I thought I picked an area away from where most people would go), but only managed 1/2 mile in the end since people were everywhere! On the occasions where I have met people, even when I'm clearly naked no issues, and on a few occasions normally women stop and chat, also some couples - but I'm more interested in the walk than chatting to people.

Lovely walk down monknash today went across the coastal path first towards Southerndown, plenty of textiles around, I did pop my clothes on as I came to that end as there were around 20 various people around the picnic benches, took the opportunity with clothes on to have a bite to eat before going down to the beach where I stripped off again, again plenty of textiles as I came back to plough and Harrow end but I thought I'll just keep going and I had no issues, even got stopped by a couple from London who asked if they could take a few pictures as the male was a professional photographer apparently and they were quite surprised to see me. All in all a great walk, passed closely by around 20-30 textiles and while some avoided eye contact when I said hello I had no negative comments and plenty of smiles, especially I noticed from the children, can't wait for the next time

Was at Monknash last Saturday and although I had a good naked walk, there were a lot of people then also.I was there not long after high tide so the beach was exposed but not enough for dog walkers and other textiles. I try hard to judge it this way now as it minimises the occasions when I feel it's appropriate to cover up. Numbers increased as the afternoon went on.
When I arrived there were just 3 vehicles in the car park but when I left there were over thirty!!

Cian, are you aware of any naturists using the area known as the 'deeps' ( I think it's called) past Dunraven toward Southerdown?...would love to continue a naked beach walk in this direction.

Not heard of the deeps before, I walk up the path at dunraven to the viewing points on top of the cliffs or come across the coastal path to the viewing points and down onto the beach all while staying naked. The beach around the headland is Southern down and is textile only as far as I'm aware although we do use it for skinny dips on occasion. The loop I do is around 5 miles which is what I did today and took around 90 minutes you could increase it and walk to Nash point and up and around which I have done before but again there will be more textiles at Nash point end

You're all making me want to visit this area on holiday now.  Not been to that bit before (only to Gower).  Lots of good hill walking a bit further inland too.

I've only once made the mistake of covering up which others took to meaning I was doing something wrong in the first place, now I just do what a lot of others do and that a strategically placed hand and sometimes turning away has presented no problems at all. As of late I have gone further afield, am learning to read a map so encounters have been less likely and I am enjoying my walks more as nature intended..
