Seahorse Stir At Studland Bay

Hello all you UK Naturists - hope you are enjoying the sunshine today I know I am. Earlier in the month I blogged a story about the seahorses found at Studland Bay. Well now a row has broken out over a protection zone to save the seahorses off my favourite bit of Dorset coastline. A voluntary anchor-free zone is being introduced at Studland Bay which is now home to the country’s largest breeding seahorse colony. It is planned that wardens will patrol and photograph the area to create a map of boating activity during the busy summer season.

Experts will then compare data from the seagrass in the anchor-free zone and a control zone where boats can anchor to judge the impact on the seahorse territory. But locals fear it will turn in to a ‘naming and shaming’ exercise with boats that are anchored in the bay named on the internet. They also believe the seagrass and seahorses are thriving as they and should be left alone - just a nature intended.

On a more practical note local people also argue that the village will suffer economically if the hundreds of boats that come each weekend in summer decide to stay away.

We will just have to wait and see what happens with this one !!!!

Hampshire Girls Bare All For Calendar

I spotted this bit of naked fun (which is all for a great cause) in our local paper today. It reported that a hampshire young lady is helping dozens of women strip off for a saucy calendar to help raise cash for our injured servicemen and women. Apparently Kelly Monk came up with the idea for the British Forces SWAG Calendar after deciding to support a campaign by her local paper "Daily Echo" Help for Heroes.

So far more than 30 ladies from across the country, including six from the Hampshire are, have all agreed to strip off for the semi-nude calendar which is currently in the process of being shot. All of the calendar girls have partners or husbands currently in the armed forces and will be wearing either Army, Navy, RAF or marine headgear in the photos.

Now thats worth getting naked for !!! Good Luck to them I hope iot goes really really well !!!

Nude Vollyball Tournament

Here are some details of a naturist event detailed in the Canadian press. Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park is inviting the general public to participate in the 3rd annual Greater Toronto Naturist Volleyball Tournament. (July 1st to 5th) While participants do not have to be naturists/nudists to play, they must play nude. Whether that will put them at a disadvantage is yet to be determined.

Nudity in sports is a tradition that goes back thousands of years to the first Olympics. The Greek root of "gymnasium" is gymnos which means "nude". When liberated of clothing, the body is free to perform to its natural maximum. Volleyball and naturism/nudism is almost a cliché. But it is true that the sport has been incredibly popular within the naturist/nudist community and its roots can be traced back to 1927 in France.

Volleyball is just one of the many draws. In addition to Bare Oaks' many amenities, there will be a live band, campfires, and the restaurant will be open with a special event liquor license for the entire event. For families, there will be organized children's activities during the day.

Naked Rambler In Court Again

In famous/infamous naturist Stephen Gough was forced to go undercover today at Perth Sheriff Court. The naturist, who the press has been dubbed ‘The Naked Rambler’, was arrested after he was found walking nude through the Fair City’s Edinburgh Road late last week. However in court the ex-marine, who has previously served prison sentences for exposing himself in public, refused to cover up when he was due to appear before Sheriff Michael Fletcher in the Tay Street dock. After Gough’s agent William Somerville grew exasperated at Gough’s lack of co-operation and washed his hands of the case an intermediate date was set for July 2 and a trial on July 16.

Is this guy really doing himself and or any other naturists any favours -however it is a little strange that no-one from the naked bike ride events had any hassle from any of the authorities that I know about ...

Obviously a single naked man if far more of a problem than 50 or naked men and women riding bikes through our streets ......

Naked Pride

Hello all you naturists out there. Not only is the summer almost upon us but so is the PRIDE season. And if you are lucky enough to be over in the States there is a gay Pride event for naturists. The Bone Island Bare It All Weekend - South Florida's largest naturist event for gay men. Key West has been historically known as "Bone Island" for over two centuries, and Bone Island Bare It All Weekend gives that name a whole new meaning.

Two weekends each year, hundreds of gay naturists and guys who like to get naked fill up Key West's clothing-optional gay guesthouses. Featured events include dance parties, foam parties, pool parties, naked shopping, and the playful 'Bad Boys' party.

This weekend that ties in with the gay Pride is 17 - 19 July 2009.

Naturist cruises on the increase

According to a recent report in Britain’s Sunday press, nudist cruises are on the increase. Cruising in the buff has been popular with Americans for some time now, but naturist cruise specialists are reporting an upsurge in guests from other countries, particularly Britain, from where some travel agents are booking 50% more clothes-free customers than they were a year ago.

Nudist cruises, or clothing-optional cruises, are always private charters of cruise ships. Some of the most popular are the romantic square-riggers of Star Clippers; Texas-based naturist cruise agent Bare Necessities has been quick to snap up a fortnight on Star Flyer, one of Star Clippers’ three ships, which will be based permanently in Tahiti. The lure of the Pacific islands is obviously a strong one, as the cruise has already sold out.

Naturist Charity Calendar

In the local press today in Wiltshire naturist Mike Gould is definitely happy in his own skin so has no qualms in helping out and stripping off for a charity calendar. The 67-year-old and his naturist friends can be seen in the forthcoming 2010 calendar baring all in the snow, hanging out in gardens and getting all over body tans in the sun. The calendar’s naked models aim to raise £600 for charity Action for Blind People and have already reached £140.

Mike, of Severn Avenue, Greenmeadow, feels comfortable just pottering around in the nude at home and indded in his garden but would never venture into public. “I do all my gardening in the nude,” Mike was quoted as saying. “Our garden is totally secluded – it is not overlooked.

This is Mike’s third charity calendar – he raised money for the Prospect Hospice in 2007 and Action for Blind People last year. He started the calendar as an alternative way to raise money, as a heart bypass a few years ago now prevents him from taking part in other fundraising activities like running a marathon.

WELL DONE TO HIM !!!!!!!

Naked Fish

Hello there all you UK Naturists WHAT fantastic weather we are having hope you are really enjoying it !!! and for the latest nude celebrity photo shoot - this has to be one of the most bizarre ones I have heard of. Apparently stocks of Bluefin Tuna are fading fast, and with a recent market survey suggesting an overwhelming majority of the fish available on the Japanese market are immature juveniles, it’s likely the things could fall below the level of a viable genetic population soon.

Celebrities who have already seen the film were so shocked that many have posed naked for the acclaimed photographer Ian Rankin to raise awareness. Greta Scacchi, who took part alongside Emilia Fox and Terry Gilliam, urged consumers to only buy sustainable fish to help stocks of all fish recover as well as the bluefin tuna.

Well there you go - the power of the naked BUM !!!! lol

The Naked Bike Ride Is A World Event

Hello UK naturists looks like the weather is picking up for us. Well it seems that the naked bike ride really is a global event - I found this little snippet in the Washington Post today. Tour de France? More like Tour sans Pants. Under semi-sunny skies, the District's run of the fourth annual World Naked Bike Ride kicked off yesterday from Franklin Square downtown. Technically, folks on hand for the event weren't naked. D.C. has laws against indecent exposure, after all.

But several of the 30 or so riders found creative ways around that. A special tent was set up so riders could shed their street clothes and, using latex paint and other techniques, prepare for the ride in privacy.

"This is good for awareness," said Chris Bracken, 24, of the District, who, along with two friends, was participating in her first naked ride. "Nudity is always a good way to get someone's attention. The goal of the two-mile trip downtown was to protest oil dependency and promote bicycles as a transportation alternative. Of course, there are ways to make these statements while wearing clothes, but let's face it -- they're not nearly as attention-getting

Over 150 Naked Biker riders In Southampton

Hello you naturists - well despite it getting more than a little chilly yesterday evening and wearing nothing but their safety helmets, scores of cyclists took to the streets of Southampton for the third annual Naked Bike Ride. Much to the amazement of of the general public, around 150 brave activists stripped off for the protest ride, campaigning about both our car culture and dependency on oil.

With many of the riders sporting little more than colourful slogans and pictures, the riders also aimed to highlight the vulnerability of cyclists on the roads. The whole thing looked great !!! The ride started and finished at Southampton Common, but left a trail of both bemused and amused onlookers in their wake on a six-mile course through Portswood and the city centre.

Organiser Rob Jordan told the local press: “It’s a protest and a demonstration, but a joyous one, and we generally find that people give us a really warm reception.

And well done to all of them - it really was a great sight to see !!!!

Naturist Holidays : Cuba

If you are planning on a naturist holiday outside of the UK this sounds like a wonderful place. Located in the Jardines del Rey (The King's Garden) archipelago, north of the island of Cuba, Cayo Santa Maria is the ideal choice for a relaxing dream vacation. Much less touristic than other well-known Cuban destinations such as Varadero, Cayo Santa Maria will surely delight those who seek tranquility, luxury and beautiful beaches. This region has been declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO.

Indeed, fans of naturism have finally found a nice location. Although "officially" forbidden by the Cuban constitution, an isolated section of the beach, west of the Sol Cayo Santa Maria Hotel, has been designated as a "Nature Beach" and allows naturists to freely indulge in this practice. On the other hand, naturism is not tolerated in the "hotel zone". It would be very inappropriate to walk nude on the hotel site or on the beaches of the hotel complexes.

Located right next to Santa Maria, the small island of Cayo Ensenachos responds to the concept of “one Island, one hotel"; its size is only 1.7 km2. Its two beautiful white powdery sand beaches are just as breathtaking as the ones in Santa Maria. People who do not wish to make a compromise on high-end services and fine dining on holidays will surely enjoy all the luxury and elegance offered by the Hotel Occidental Royal Hideaway. With its most fabulous facilities and dazzling surroundings, this five star hotel offers superior Spa packages, opulent accommodations, various activities and impeccable service.

Sounds like heaven.

Get Naked In County Kerry

As reported in the local press today, naturists calling for the creation of a nudist beach at Inch strand are claiming the ban on nude bathing in Kerry is costing the local tourism industry thousands in lost revenue. Ahead of last Friday's local elections the Irish Naturist Association (INA) repeated their call on Kerry County Council to provide a "clothing optional" beach facility at Inch strand. The organisation sent letters to the county manager and all local election candidates seeking their support for a nudist area at Inch Strand.

According to the INA, naturists have been using Inch for nude sunbathing for years without any compliant from the public and now they are seeking official permission to turn a section of the popular beach into a nudist area.

INA president Pat Gallagher says that creating a naturist area at Inch could be worth a fortune to the local tourist economy.

"Such facilities are common place in almost all other EU member countries and are frequented by the many millions of European naturists. Naturist tourism generates billions of euros each year across Europe and is one of the fastest growing tourist segments worldwide," he said.

"We receive numerous inquiries from naturists each year as to where it would be possible to use beach facilities as part of their holiday should they come to Ireland. We have to advise that no such facilities are provided by local authorities. We are certain that many potential tourists are lost to Ireland because no such facilities exist," he said.

Never Under Estimate The Value Of The Naked Pound, Euro or Dollar - lol

Studland Not Just For Naturists

Move over all you naturists - you have got new neighbours at Studland Bay. The Seahorse Tust has been monitoring a number of sites around the UK, one of which is in Studland Bay in Dorset which has turned out to be a site of International importance. Our coordinators for Dorset, Steve Trewhella and Julie Hatcher, discovered Seahorses on the site in 2005 and since then we have made a number of amazing discoveries about British Seahorses and particularly this site.

Despite the longevity of the survey and the amount of knowledge we have already gained we need to know more about these very elusive animals and their secretive lives and Studland Bay gives us a unique opportunity to do this.

The British Seahorse Survey was set up in 1994 and is the longest running continuous survey of its kind in the world; it's this longevity that has allowed us to gain a greater insight into the world of two of the British Isles most enigmatic fish species.

Singles Outdoor Club Naturist Walks

Yet another intersting Naturist Website I cam across over the weekend. You might be surprised to find out that it is possible to enjoy walking in the remoter parts of the countryside of South East England in the nude. The fact is that few people wander further than 200 yards from a car park. We often walk for several hours without meeting anybody and - weather permitting - have been able to remain nude for 80% or more on many of our walks which range from 9 to 12 miles.

The object of these walks is to enjoy the exhilaration of walking without the encumbrance of clothing. We are not planning to make any sort of political point, or to make any sort of challenge to other members of the public. It is our policy to carry "cover-up" garments which we put on when we cross a road, see other walkers approaching us from a distance, or realise that we are about to pass farmers working in their fields. Just occasionally we meet someone without warning, and just greet them with a cheerful "good afternoon." As far as we know we have not given offence to anyone in the 14 years that our walks programme has been in existence.

The walks programme for this year is now prepared and an outline is published on this site. If you would like to take part in these walks why not join SOC now, and you will receive full details of the walks as well as a wealth of information about other club activities. SOC forms an excellent opening into naturism for single people, but couples and married folk are also very welcome. You will find an application form on the main SOC website.

Travel firm founder in hot water

As widely reported in the Financial press Travel Industry Chris Mottershead veteran finds himself defending his reputation. The travel industry chief who uncovered the mainsteam possibilities of naturist holidays is battling to save his reputation. Chris Mottershead was suspended in April after Travelzest, the company he founded, announced it was investigating an alleged “potential misappropriation of company funds”.

The heads of Travelzest’s various divisions - which include a naturist holiday operation, package trips to Cuba, and French villa hire - are to meet in London this month for what would normally be a routine management round table.

Peng Travel is the UK’s leading provider of naturist holidays. Founded in 1971, it pioneered the provision of package holidays from the UK to genuine naturist destinations around the world. Peng Travel was swallowed up by Travelzest when it was purchased by Travelzest back in May 2006

Sources close to the company suggest that those leading the probe are “no nearer knowing when it will conclude than they were when it started” and details of the inquiry are, to say the least, sketchy.

Meanwhile, Mottershead has come out fighting, denying having done anything wrong. He has instructed solicitors to sue Travelzest for defamation on the basis of its statement to the stock exchange announcing the investigation.

Whilst the share price of Travelzest has been effected by this it is not thought that any holidays will be.

Celebrities back plans to expand naturism on Hampstead Heath

As reported in the local Uk press today, 100's of naturist campaigners including Julian Clary and human rights protestor Peter Tatchell are backing a scheme to increase the area for nude male sunbathing on Hampstead Heath. A petition with more than 1,000 signatures will be presented to the new Chairman of the Heath today (Thursday) calling for greater space for the naturists, expanding the small concrete plot they currently use next to the changing room at the men's swimming pond.

The campaign appeared in its early days on the letters pages of the Ham&High last May, when naturist Michael Peacock complained about the lack of space. Now, a year on, he is hoping he has enough public and celebrity support to free the nudists.

The 50-year-old bather said: "Last year the Ham&High published my letter and a cartoon on the subject and it's all kicked off from there. I, like many others, sent off my comments to the City of London Corporation but they were totally ignored. I decided to try to get something done and set up a petition." A total of 1,061 people are now backing his bid, which will be presented to the new chairman of the Heath Management Committee, Michael Welbank, at the bathing enclosure this morning.

Great Website For Naturist Bikers

Browsing through the web I came across this great naturist website http://motorcyclenudes.org . Here is some information about them (which I hope they do not mind me putting here). Motorcyclenudes.org is a web-based “club” for naturists who are also motorcyclists. The Motorcyclenudes site now has coverage of our past events, pictures of members and their bikes, and much more in the memberzone. We have only been in existence for around four years, and so are still building our content.

"Motorcyclenudes has already held several nude bike rallies in the UK. Motorcyclenudes.org is a site aimed at naturists who are also motorcyclists. We are UK based, and activities are limited to the shores of Britain (at least they are for now!) We do have plans for Europe, and eventually, we may grow big enough to take over the world, but for that we need time!"

Their site is intended for genuine nudists who like to mix their passions for leathers whilst on the bike and the lack of them whilst off it.

Hampshire Naturists Get It Hot

Naturists in the Hampshire area hit the jackpot again this weekend as the county basked in scorching temperatures again yesterday. Weather forecasters predicted that the mercury would climb to 27C (81F), the hottest day of the year so far. People grabbed their buckets and spades and flocked to the beach yesterday to make the most of “wall-to-wall” sunshine. It really was very very hot and so much sunshine.

Travel experts said there was congestion on roads leading to most coastal areas.

Traffic Masters head of travel Ross Gould said the A31 westbound through the New Forest towards Bournemouth and Poole had the most notable problems. He said: “The beachside resorts are hotspots for the holiday traffic. In the UK if there is any hint of sunshine people head straight to the coast.”

Matt Dobson, forecaster at MeteoGroup, said yesterday's highest temperatures fell short of the 26.5C (80F) reached on Friday, which was the hottest day of the year so far.

He added that the south enjoyed temperatures of up 21C (70F) by the sea.
