How was your month for Free Range Naturism?

Way to stretch boundaries JOhn.

A Naturist's Prayer:

DANG! I'm living in this time of weird weather patterns. One day its nearly 80F then the temp drops and these chilling winds pop up the very next day, then poof it is 80F a couple of days later. A morning looks highly encouraging and afternoon rolls all over any hope. None of it is typical, or predictable. The good stuff doesn't happen on the weekends, particularly the ones that DF is available.

I can deal with it, but the difficulty is increased.  I have myself locked in to a 4 or 5 hour per day job with a bouncy schedule that doesn't always coordinate with the good weather. I find myself mournfully standing around in clothing in some of the most delightful weather, while I'm taking care of my obligations. Then there's this house project.

Lo siento para you all who have such little good weather to exploit. I am maintaining a decent tan. hope and the tenacity to keep getting naked at every possibility. A person just can't always be out there on a naked holiday, but I do my best. Grant me the serenity....

Same up here, Jbee! And windy too!

We've had a very dry winter. Fall and winter is when we get the majority of our precipitation.

What's your job?

Then there's this house project

Re How was my month...I don't know naturism exists this month!  I've been Soooooooooooooo busy!!  By the end of the month I will have been to London 6 days, local cities 6 days, theatre 6 days and had guests staying 6 days!  The weather has been awful with Snow and really cold days at the beginning of March and on each of the days I have been to my regular appointment up the road from the good woodlands for walking, I have been obliged to do something else rather than visit the woods.  Mercifully April is a bit quieter!

Lately, events haven’t been conducive to me going out. But things are looking up.

We are planning a road trip in May to Central Arizona, Chaco, Monument Valley and points west from there. We will be camping and hiking. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to squeeze in some FRN on the trip. I’ve been in that area but never been there specifically. Though I’m thinking in May it might be busy.

February, one run in beautiful, fresh snow in the early morning.

March, one walk up a steep fell. Still freezing on the bog at the summit, but a little sun made it quite warm once off the top.

April beginning to warm up. Had one local run and yesterday a very pleasant afternoon walking a partially forested ridge above a remote Lake District valley (Borrowdale, near Shap) and then back along the river in the valley. Saw no-one apart from the farmer driving up track in the valley and a couple of trail bikers on the ridge on the other side of the valley. Took a brief dip but not very deep where I was.

A few days ago I was in the backyard planting herbs and peppers in 90° weather. Saturday night it was down into the upper 40’s and low 70’s on Sunday. Big swings in temp and the resulting winds to prove it.

But the temperature is trending up, and a desert hike looks like a good idea.

At last, we have had a sunny hot spring day in the UK!  Sun all day and about 23degC
I was outside like a bullet from a gun and got some nude sunbathing this morning before having to rip myself away to other chores ("What chores?"  "I'll have a beer").  Gosh it was a nice change to be hot in the sun.  I am looking at my arms as I type in the evening and they have a slight blush of sunburn. I don't expect it will last - no nice weather does in the uk.  Forecast for tomorrow is cloudy + bright until middle of day then a couple hours sunshine then cloudy again until 18.00 then clear and sunny till dusk.  Friday looks promising.  Might be able to do some garden work sky clad.

its mid april weve got blossom out on the plum trees ...some years its out in late feb...  theres virtually no leaves on anything yet,  so the hedges are still see through... normally reckon on mid march theyre sufficiently leafy to enable naked gardening.
on the bright side i went to an elderly friends yesterday to repair a fence and a few other odd jobs had to wear shorts most of the time but  spent a couple of hours in the afternoon tidying her walled garden without them.

The temps here are perfect. 50’s at night to 80’s in the day. But the winds persist with some overcast days. Steady 20-30 mph with gusts to 40-50. That would be fine if only it were warmer.

A few good days have allowed me to get some garden work done - but hardly free range.

[nuduke]

We had the summer in the UK - there were 2 really hot days last week.  I fear that may be it  - hope not! Still I had lots of naked time during those 2 days - got a little sunburned but hopefully got a VitD top up - which has been lacking evidently because the doc put me on supplements a few weeks ago after a blood test.


This isn't a report more a look forward.  I'm off to Canada next week for a about 3 weeks, guys.  Unless I can find a decent break in our tour and simultaneous good wifi, I may be off air for a bit.  I may just be reading and not writing on the forum (do I hear you cry what a relief?).  We'll see but if I don't check in for a bit, don't worry - I ain't gone for good!


I'll probably get another chance to check in before I go.


What I do hope is that I can slope off from our party and get naked somewhere in the great Canadian wilderness...if only for 60 seconds.  I'm told it may be chilly this time of year

Bon Voyage. Remember Nightwalker?

Nuduke, if you make stops in Montreal or Toronto, there are naturist activities there. French-speaking in Montreal, of course.

And if you get a chance, the best-known beaches are Crystal Crescent near Halifax, Oka near Montreal, Hanlan's Point near Toronto, and Wreck Beach near Vancouver. Probably all a bit cold this time of year!

[eyesup]

Which part of the Great White North are you headed for, John? I think we have a couple members in the region, but can’t remember where they are located.
Yeah Jbee, Nightwalker is one but where is he?

My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the hell she is.

Have a good trip and good luck on finding naked time. Remember, luck is when opportunity meets preparedness.
