Two Walks in Rapid Succession 2

[nuduke]

I've discovered a group called Naked Lincolnshire.  It's run by a guy who arranges naturist events to visit local places of interest for groups of naturists.  it isn't really a club or society, each event is advertised on a website and you book in.  This was my first try.  It was a trip to a the grounds of a stately home in North Lincolnshire where the gardens are open to the public and our leader had arranged for the naturist visit after their closing time 5pm today (Sunday 30th). 
Sadly, British weather marred our otherwise excellent visit somewhat.  Whilst the previous week had hit highs of 86F by yesterday things had clouded over (although I still gardened naked and needed no covering) but today sadly the temperature had dropped significantly to about 70F when we were admitted at about 5.30pm down to 60F by 7.30pm which was chilly and uncomfortable due to the prolonged exposure.  Not much breeze, no rain but it took the shine off the visit.  Although end time was 8.30pm, I left about 7.45 as I was uncomfortably chilly by then and beginning to shiver.
Nevertheless the venue was charming and pleasant to experience with well kept gardens, lakes and woodland with wildfowl and carp in the lake and interesting touristy features such as aviaries, formal side garden and arboretum.  The arrangement was not unlike the Abbey House Gardens model (now defunct). 
It was the first time naturists had visited this site.  The crowd of about 50 naturists were friendly and generally chatty.  Tea and food were available and indeed the staff were on hand as per a normal open day.  They were surprisingly unperturbed by a load of nude people descending on their entrance foyer, cafe.
NOTE: I JUST POSTED A BATCH OF PHOTOS AND MORE REPORT BUT THE FORUM CUT ME OFF HERE AND I LOST IT.  HOPEFULLY BELOW THERE WILL BE THE PICTURES
The remaining text is lost but I was just expanding on the experience and the other naturists who were pleasant and chatty throughout.
I was very chilly by the end of the evening 60F and left about 45mins before the close time.  The grounds were very nice.
I made attempts to gain a deeper experience of the wooded areas given my more modest take out in report #1

Does my heart good to get reports about your exploratory progress and some weather cooperation, finally.

50 people! How far away do they come to ramble at these events? How local are these folks. How often does he create these free roaming naturist opportunities? They sound very fun. What other spots has he set up events. I'd love to see someone doing such around here. We'd set up campouts and member parties, mostly pool parties back when the Southern Arizona Naturist Society (SANS), was functioning in the 1990's. Someone set up a museum group up near Phoenix. That sounds so free range. There's a group here that does clothed restaurant gatherings for newbies and to keep camaraderie in the group bond as well as non-landed nude events, called Buffateers.

Appears like you you are networking.

To tune-in, turn-on and drop trouser, get that oneness with nature buzz, I close eyes, pay attention to my breath, then aware of the body, then everything, barefoot, watch all of the senses happening. Some warm sun on skin sure helps. How do you usually attune, or do you just find yourself in a sense of natural self. I'm better when I don't have to be concerned with being "caught" and there is less socializing going on around me.

50 people! Abbey house used to get hundreds on a sunny Sunday
How far away do they come to ramble at these events? 1-1.5 hours drive typically, I'd say, but possibly a majority within 20-30mins drive, I drove 1hr 10mins 54 miles to get there
How local are these folks. How often does he create these free roaming naturist opportunities? 2 or 3 per year I think.  He's just a guy that is bold enough to negotiate with venues that he considers suitable.  Next 2 events are a walk through sunflower fields and a Maize Maze.
They sound very fun. What other spots has he set up events. see above

Appears like you you are networking.  Well, one gets chatting to people at these events.  Naturists are a friendly lot in general I find.  One rarely hears about their journey to being naturist nor what else they do in the naturist context, though

To tune-in, turn-on and drop trouser, get that oneness with nature buzz, I close eyes, pay attention to my breath, then aware of the body, then everything, barefoot, watch all of the senses happening. Ah yes, I realise from your advice that I wasn't concentrating enough.  That's a tip to adopt next time. 
Some warm sun on skin sure helps. Sure does!
How do you usually attune, or do you just find yourself in a sense of natural self  Yes, the latter.  If I get the vibe I notice it happening rather than do anything to actively conjure it up . I'm better when I don't have to be concerned with being "caught" and there is less socializing going on around me. Absolutely yes.  Solitude and peace create 'wavelength matching' with ones natural surroundings

Looks like you weren't the only naked hiker.  Good place.
