I spent about four hours walking around Studland last Saturday and managed to record the route on my phone, which I had stuck in a useful pocket in my Tilley hat. Especially useful this time because for at least three and a half of those hour I didn't have anything on but the hat. It was a glorious day and there were so few people about. Up around Shell Bay, by the harbour entrance, nobody seems to go into the dunes behind the beach, so you can spend the whole day nude there without interruption. When I got back to the beach where I had left my dinghy I went for a naked row in the sun, which is just delightful and far more comfortable than rowing in clothing of any sort. Definitely a recommended naturist activity. I hope the map of the walk shows up below

Hi Julian, It is nice to see that you had a good day, I particularly liked the map, which app did you use to record it?
It's My Tracks, which I think it's a Google maps product. It is very simple and you can expert directly to Google maps from it. I use it whenever we are travelling anywhere off the usual map and it does it very well.

Julien, I was both inspired and perturbed by your post...
Is the peninsula all NT land? Is it therefore, subject to NT regulation? Are limits placed on us as to where we can, and can't go?
I've only been to Studland twice and felt inhibited by signs to Please Dress Beyond This Point, and posts erected to delineate the Naturist Section. I'd dearly love to roam freely as you have done but am simply not sure what my ground is. Can anyone put me straight?
A good app to track you progress is Endomondo, it gives you a lot of info like cals used time distance speed etc. you can then share the data with other users. Its on Apple and Andriod platforms

Legally, the situation is the same as anywhere else in England and Wales.
I am a frequent free range walker, but will generally stay well away from the approved places as I don't want to risk giving the antis a reason to try and close down the few "official" places we have by providing them with evidence that the nudists are spreading off the reservation.
Have fun,
Ian.
It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
