A lad I know and sometimes bump into up the hills takes his one year old on his back most days. I met him yesterday and broached the subject. "Now that the little one is getting older, would you like me to cover up when we meet?". His response was "no, don't worry about it, it isn't a problem, I was going to raise the matter with you anyway".

I was at Studland the other day - perfectly nice if you just want sands and sea, but a bit boring for me. I like rock pools and interesting geology.

I was at Lakeside cover this morning and striped off when there was a gap in the people walking the beach. No issues. There is also a practically deserted beach around the corner that's actually nicer. I was with my hiking friends this afternoon but they know what I'm about and Angela likes to see my bum anyway.  The rocks there are really nice

I was at Silverdale Beach today, the tide was all the way out.  Big skies, expansive sands, do what you want.  Plenty of space for everyone.  I didn't stay stationary on the beach because lying out in the sun is not my thing - and there is quite a lot of mud mixed in with the sand anyway, and the beach is overlooked by a path that does see some traffic from the inevitable static caravan site nearby.  I'm sure I'll be back though, the weather got quite warm, with a nice warm breeze also.  It's only 1h30mins from my house.

Full report coming, in its own topic.

Sorry, camp site, not static caravan site.  Just checked.  But Google shows quite a large site just above Jenny Brown's Point and Giants Seat.

Not just beaches but when I lived near Heathrow I had a couple of spots I went to, one a lake and the other beside the Thames, that I used to go at lunchtime in the summer.

I have sunbathed and skinny-dipped in more spots on the River Thames than I could possibly remember, including sitting reading naked on the Thames Path on a busy Sunday afternoon.

As far as I can remember I have only used Brighton and Fairlight of the "official" beaches in my 40 years of naturism, all my naked beach time in the last 30 years having been on unofficial or unrecognised beaches.
