Naturist Group to be formed in North Wales Chester Area
Gonaturist
I'm new to the area and am interested in froming / joining any naturist groups
in the area.
The main problems I have found are:
There are very few naturist locations in this area
I am, for most of the time, single and male :((((
I am a member of CCBN and have been a member of a club in the south of England.
I have also been to several naturist locations overseas.
Any body interested???

Right - you're new to the area and first thing you want to do is form a new
group without even considering whether or not your new group will be
welcome.

So? How about your own back garden? And if it's so important to you why did
you move here in the first place - or is this some sort of crusade?

Maybe this is trying to tell you something - maybe you look more alluring
when you're wearing something?

Does this stand for Cocky Cockney, Bugger what the Natives want?

Bully for you - probably warmer there too.

IMHO North Wales is a trifle cold for bearing all even in Summer. However, I
believe that in the past a naturist group did try to make part of Llanddwyn
beach a naturist location, and another on the coast in Meirionydd - but with
little success.

Hmm, uk.local.north-wales.naked
Should be an interesting RFD :-)

I'm sorry but anybody who would want to wander around, say, any of the
beaches on Anglesey in the scuddy with the sort of cold bloody weather you
get in North Wales has to be off their rocker!!
Philip Brown
IIRC, it was proposed for part of Penmaenmawr beach a few years ago
but it met a fair bit of local resistance - the town councillors were
either morally opposed or just incredulous, for much the same reasons
as Alun above.
Not to mention that Pen beach isn't exactly secluded!

The original post didn't actually mention a beach though. Nudists can meet
anywhere that have a degree of privacy. ISTR that the Sandcastle in
Blackpool is regularly let out to nudist groups, and swimming pools
generally are similarly let out (heated, of course).
Somehow I don't think that Rhyl Sun Centre would work though - too many
windows.

How many of us natives are you speaking for, Mair?
I can think of far worse clubs to have in the vicinity than one
involving a bunch of nutters wandering around in the buff.

I didn't realise that swimming trunks were worn for warmth. Still, I
suppose
some parts feel the cold more than others.
As for Llanddwyn not being a success for naturists, have you been there
lately? The stretch of beach beyond Llanddwyn Island (on the Malltraeth
side)
has long been regarded by many as an unofficial nudist beach.
Personally, I
have no problems with that. The vast majority of naturists using the
beach
are extremely discreet. Same goes for Porth Neigwl (Hells Mouth) on the
Llyn
Peninsula too.

I don't know why they opposed it! It might have bought a bit more life to
the place. It's probably the most miserable place for miles ever since the
expressway was built... No matter what time of year it is, it ALWAYS feels
like a rainy December in Penmaenmawr.....

And isn't exactly clean either! Mind you, if they did have a nudist thing
there, the accident rate on the expressway would increase dramatically.....
hwyl!

I wondered if I'd get a reaction!:)
You're right, there are worse things than people walking around in the
buff - although I still maintain that most people look better with some
clothing (and research shows that scantily clad people are deemed more
attractive than completely nude - something to do with anticipation and
fantasy!).
However, I do object to people moving in to an area, and immediately trying
to make things like it was where they are from (e.g. fish and chip shops and
English pubs in Spain and other Med countries; or city/town people who move
in to a small village, and then complain there are no facilities nearby etc.
etc. ), which is what Gonaturist did in his original posting. My (negative)
response was more of a reaction to the tone of the posting. It wasn't that
Gonaturist was enquiring about information about naturist
groups/facilities - but stating that he wanted to form a new group, and
generally complaining that North Wales doesn't cater for his particular
hobby. It shows a certain lack of respect (and certainly a lack of
sensitivity) for local culture/values.
BTW, I thought that local objection in the Niwbwrch area had curtailed the
use of Llanddwyn as a nudist beach?

Hmmm, I did hesitate for a moment..

Unfortunately, most of the ones at Llanddwyn would definitely look
better
clothed, which is why I appreciate their discretion.

I think you're reading an awful lot into his post. He wasn't enquiring
about groups etc because presumably he had already done so and found
none. That being the case, why shouldn't he set up a new group? It will
only work if there is sufficient interest. If it does work, then I don't
think it will become a serious threat to the culture of North Wales.
It's not as if he's planning to open a branch of MacDonalds or something
is it?

As an official one maybe, but the local plod have better things to do
than
sneak around the dunes with binoculars (on work time, at least).

But then naturism isn't about looking attractive or sexy, there are as many
nudist pensioners as there are nudist firm bodied hunks and hunkesses.

Maybe you're right - maybe I was being slightly over-sensitive to the tone
of the posting (- only slightly mind you :)))!) But, I still think that an
awful lot of people who move into a new area don't consider for even a
moment that there might be differences between their home base and their
chosen area - and that leads to problems and bad feelings between locals and
newcomers.

You seem to know an awful lot about the naturists of Llanddwyn Willy (and
the habits of the local bobbies)! I tend to only go there in Winter for a
nice brisk walk along the beach - but obviously the natural wild-life is
more active when you go :)

I live a couple of miles away, (plus another three or so through the
woods).
In fact I popped down last night for a cycle and swim and saw a barn
owl,
a buzzard and the usual flocks of ravens, so you could be right! I left
my
bike and climbed over the dunes to come out about half way along the
(Malltraeth) beach. There were a couple of surfers half a mile away
towards
Llanddwyn Island but otherwise I had the place to myself.
Which was nice.
