There's been a lot of media coverage about the Forest of Dean in West
Gloucestershire being a 'new' centre for naturist rambles. Theres even a
website at www.bare-back.co.uk
Any further info would be very appreciated...where are the trails?

Is it a good idea to post the location of trails? It could bring
attention from undesirables let alone the authorities.

I must say that I do find nude rambling very appealing, it would be
great if it became tolerated if not accepted. I know the laws
regarding nudity are a mess but what might happen in practice to
somebody identified and reported to the police as having been seen
naked in the countryside?

Because of press intrusion they have limited that area of the site to
those signed up the the yahoo group.

To find out details just join, costs nothing.

They do realise that this limitation will not really stop the press
finding out'

I have managed some sucessful nude walking in the forest areas North
East of Woodbridge in Suffolk. I sometimes go weekday lunch times. I
have never actually met anybody else although a couple of times I have
diverted to avoid them - they always seem to be near the road.

Anybody else out there that uses the same area?

See the NUFF site for the law. Basically, it is not illegal to be nude.

The SOC, a BN club, does organise frequent mid-week walks, generally one or
two hours from London, with trains met. The routes are planned to avoid the
public but, of course, this can not be guaranteed. However, we all cover up
when a 'textile' is spotted. Walks are 8 - 10 miles, starting at a pub for
a drink and finishing back at the pub for a meal.

One this Summer has a record 27 men, 3 women and 2 dogs. The only
'incident' was a farmer driving across his fields on a quad-bike who saw us,
and came over, by which time we were all covered up, and had a pleasant chat
before going on.

See the SOC site:

is "/S_O_C/"
