As ther are too many dog walkers around in my woods I can't go during the day time so I've been walkeing naked at night. Last night I did a small part of the Testway in Hampshire, got to the car park at 21:00 and found a car there, waited a few minutes and then they left yes, stripped off and away I go, it was a nice evening with a nearly full moon. After a a while my heart stopped as I saw a small light ether from a walker or a cyclist Oh * I quickly got off the path and hid behind a tree, it was a cyclist what the * was he/she doing riding a bike at they time of night stupid person, nearly as stupid as me LOL.
A bit later on I saw the lights of a car Oh * again, I stopped but soon realized they are not on my path but on a drive way to their house that is a long side the Testway < heart restarted >.
I got to the part where I saw the light from the previous night, it was all dark, but as it is near a house I put my Velcro wrap skirt on as a just in case, it was on for 10 minutes or so and then I could take it off again, the rest of the journey was with out incident I'm glad to say as soon found myself at Horsebridge, there was no one around so I stood naked in the middle of the road for a few seconds just for the hell of it, and then headed back for home.
Half way back I saw a reddish light a few yards away in an adjacent field next to the path and it was moving another OH * it must be a shooter with night vision scope I didn't have time for the skirt so quickly walked as silently as I could to get away, kept on looking back, but thank God he never saw me.
When I finally got back to the car I got dressed and set off for home, only to be met by a car coming into the car park I quickly reversed as the entrance is only for one car, he/she drove in and I got the hell out of there, good job they arrived when they did or I could have got caught naked getting dressed, I don't think I will be doing that path again way too risky, but it was enjoyable.

Well done. I was actually out in the Peak District myself today.

I parked north of Carlton beyond the cattle grid. Once I got to Mere Hill a short distance away it was clothes off. I slipped on some shorts just before reaching Beeston Tor Farm and the Manifold. I then saw my first 4 walker, one that a jacket and shirt, on this warm summers day. I went down the Manifold for a short distance before striking off on the other side. Once clear of this bye-way it was clothes off again until I approached a farm were I received a cheery wave from the farmer.

Once clear of his long drive off came the togs and I stopped for a bite to eat watching the cyclists along the manifold. As I was eating two walker came up the hill and eventually found the path they wanted.

Having eaten I dressed being in full view of this main recreational path. I crossed over it and panted my way up the hill. Once clear of brambles and the likelihood of more walker I undressed again and sat by the road side without needing clothes. I did dress for a short while before striking up to the summit of Soles Hill. I then returned to the car dressing only for the final bit whereapon I saw the last two walkers in the distance. It really was a great day out, most being naked.

Before I walk I do look carefully at the map and avoid busy routes and as much as possible farms. It can be done and being naked really makes walking a pleasure.

Enjoy your Peak District, its there for you

Not in direct reply to Keiron / Richard as I'm no where near the peak district, and Dave is an old hand with nude walks.

Since it was a good evening last night - I took the dog off to walk a trail I checked out previously. When I go for nude walks I drive there nude since often I've been nude all day anyway and its silly to dress to get in the car then strip etc. This walk was part of the lindsey trail (Lincolnshire) and only 2 miles from home, but very remote. Not a long walk before it joins a road about 2 miles so 4 miles in all. Typically of late I've not been taking anything to cover up and don't hide, if I come across anyone I just wish them a good evening - I did this walk at 7pm, but didn't see anyone.

As it was quite a short walk and the evening so good - and I always wanted to do another walk nude - I went to SnipeDate country park (still driving naked about 6 miles - I often drive naked for over 200 miles) - several cars in the car park but where I parked (next to the end of the long trail) no one, so off I set, it was about 8:30 and didn't really expect to see anyone on this part of the trail, but from around a corner a jogger appear, as I had the dog, just stepped to the side and wished him a good evening as he went by - no bad reaction. For the rest of the walk (about 1.5 hours didn't see anyone else except as I was crossing a path where there were a group of 6 or 8 walkers walking away from me, but also 2 further down the path walking towards me a little way off - to far to greet them, so I just casually continued on my way. Once I got back to the car all had gone.

Often people are not shocked coming across a naked person providing you are just doing normal things i.e. walking the dog and at a sensible time.

I have done many nude walks previously but often I would always try to cover up or in some cases hide / avoid others - this always spoilt the walk since you have to constantly keep a look out for people and plan how to cover up / hide. Just walking naked and not being concerned if others come across you makes the walk very pleasant.

JMNude - thanks - nice report.

Hiding is probably the worst thing to do as it is furtive and suspicious, so I agree with that.

Covering up -- possibly -- depends upon who is approaching (and that is difficult to judge). I think that some cover up too readily and a bit less cover-up would go a long way to normalising public nudity.

I  agree John. The more people run, hide or rush to  cover up the more it appears "naughty" which, of course, it isn't.

I have to agree, but I just don't want a confrontation with anybody who may start an argument or who may call the police and if they say “their shocked” I'm in s*** street.

I was walking on Dartmoor recently, later in the evening. I had left my clothes in the car, and was walking with just my  head torch on. It had gone dark by the time I was heading back to my car, but on the way I could hear someone calling their dog / cat / horse ! who knows, but they were calling out. anyway I got a bit further along the path thinking I was away from the mystery shouter when a lady came around the corner. she said she had seen my torch and wondered if I would help find her dog, she said she thought I was naked when she saw me from a distance away but wasn't sure.
Anyway it took about 15 minutes but we found him and had a good chat too.

Great result all round i would say. 🙂

More like it the police will reword their statement to say that they were alarmed and distressed.

The Police will not reword a previously signed statement without the consent of the witness. To do so would be perverting the course of justice contrary to common law. What does happen, or certainly did in my time was to suggest wording that proves the offence. For example a car driving passing a horse-rider too fast and frightening the horse  the Police will try to include "he was driving without any consideration" to cover the S3 offence of driving without due care and consideration for other road users. or "his attention was drifting" for driving without due care and attention.

The problem is this might seem unethical but, and there's always a but, if you are the victim of a real crime wouldn't you want the Police to do everything they can to get a conviction. The Police will quite legitimately ask you to include certain facts, for example in a theft case, "I didn't give permission for him/her to take my property.

What certainly was changing in statement taking when I retired wais the inclusion of hearsay evidence, a detrimental development in my opinion.

Davie, I did not mean that they would change a signed statement, only that there is anecdotal evidence that they have steered witnesses into including the term "alarmed and distressed" in the statement which they signed.

Please accept my apologies for the unwarranted implication resulting from my loose wording.

I understood what you were says but felt it useful to clear up any ambiguity. No apology necessary.

Although perhaps hard to explain, and indeed justify there are good reasons to enable a case to be proved provided that its not a result of prejudice or dishonesty etc. It can be a risky strategy as a good defence lawyer will ask, were you alarmed or distressed. If the witness then says no just surprised the prosecution case is now built on sand.

There are points to prove in every case and good statement taking is a skill. Ideally you want to cover the points to be proved in the witnesses own words, but excluding dross. Witnesses will accede to what the Police suggest as they are perceived as not only being pillars of society but if they are victims the Police case will help to sort out their problem. i.e. if you've had your car nicked, you want the Police to run a successful prosecution.

@ Keiron
There are a couple of younger guys who used to post regularly on here that live at south end of Pennines [including nude walks on the moors in the snow!] - not seen them post for a while but think you can probably find them from the members map

A good lawyer would ask how the alarm or distress manifested itself. It is not enough just to say you were alarmed or distressed unless it goes unchallenged.
