How was your month for Free Range Naturism?

So the size of the wang makes it more threatening to children, does it? 

What would she expect? She fears that the child might feel a bludgeoning coming on? A strangulation? Might it reach out and poke out an eye? Whose fear is that?

Always, it's "what about the kids." Kids don't really care. To them it's odd, curious, funny, unusual, but something to fear?!? What a wonderful outcome to have the prude policed instead of the innocent, for once.

Kids really do, just want to run around in their birthday suits. It's even more fun when the adults join in.

It's never really been about the "kids".  Just an excuse to hide hang ups and insecurities that have been fostered by years of indoctrination.

Easter was fantastic weather here, so naked much of the time gardening and one long walk on the fells near Sedbergh. Only met one person who ‘caught’ me at the top taking a couple of selfie, commenting ‘I wondered when I would catch someone doing that’. I presume she was referring more to the craze for posting naked photos on top of mountains etc on social media.

The weather has been much cooler since, but still managed a few early morning runs.

Got out yesterday in the fells. Fairly sunny but still a cool breeze, about 10C, so had to keep moving. I was crossing a beck (stream) when a couple appeared on the steep slope above. I decided not to cover up as they had already seen me and merely took a slightly different path up the slope so passed about 20m apart and just said ‘hi’. I couldn’t hear what they were saying to each other, but they seemed reasonably ok with it, if a little surprised. Near the top of the slope a mountain biker suddenly appeared followed by a runner. The biker passed by me and gave a little laugh but clearly wasn’t bothered. The runner was probably 50m away and so intent that he appeared not to notice me. I saw one other couple on the path above me but I was past before they got down to the path I was on so difficult to tell their reaction. Hopefully it will be a little warmer next time.

Quiet for me - we are coming up to a holiday and have had a busy time with all manner of stuff.
Usual domestic nudity, one visit to the naturist swim.  Lots of cold weather, rain and very little by way of sun to get me out in the garden or on the hiking trail.
Brightened up today, though.  Here am I sitting at my PC when I could be out sunbathing. (Actually I have just come in from sunbathing as the clouds have gathered )

oh dear its the end of june, the years half gone soon be christmas in the shops.. 
this month has had the usual mix of nakedness at home and in clients gardens. 
 theres another general fortnightly auction started up about 10 miles away, viewing on thursday/friday,  online bidding over the weekend closes early sunday eve with collection monday/tues.  anyway i bought a bed last weekend going to collect i went via the lanes, down some i rarely travel .  about 5 miles away i passed a small millenium wood,   about 5 acres or so planted with 2000 odd mixed deciduous trees about the turn of the century, i was aware of its existence but hadnt been past it for years.  on the way back i stopped for a gander,   nice little part gravel off road car park ,   tees are maturing nicely with wide mown winding paths, a wildlife pond and a few wooden benches.    it was possible to park the car on the grass near the pedestrian gate into the woods,  i always carry binocculars and a beach wrap in the car, so wrap wallet , phone and keys went in the bino case and all the clothes inc shoes stayed in the car whilst i went for a barefoot wander.   i think its the first time ive actually done a complete wander without foot or headwear. just carrying a pair of binos and their case.   i was out for about half an hour.    i reckon i could be going this way a bit more often in the future.

It got hot. I've been naked. Been up in the mountains twice, one weekend, report to come and today, an afternoon in the woods on Mt. Lemmon. Short jaunts. Cooler broke, I got naked. DF has a broken toe, which is recovering. Skinny dip party on July 4th. The month may be looking up, free range-wise.

July, more hot and the toe has now healed. Backyard pools. Went up to Redington pass, because the monsoon has been popping up here and there, but NO WATER! The only place to hike really is on the mountain tops.

Got to dance in the warm rains a couple of times. I'll publish a ditty on the website one of these days.

We will sacrifice one of our nude camping excursions to teach our granddaughter the gift of nature. Mom and dad wouldn't approve of teaching nudity is good. So, no major excursion until September.

Feeling a tad nailed down. Gotta fix that.

How are you all doing with so much heat and sunshine?

[Davie]

Its been better for me recently. Instead of waiting to go on day long expeditions some distance from home I've been exploring more local areas. Although not high country I've had some lovely rambles. I look at the Ordnance Survey (mapping) site and work out a circular route away from as much habitation as possible. Most walks have been within  a 15 mile drive. The only problem I've encountered are a few public footpaths that have not been as clear as they should have been, the worst being a field of dry rape seed.

I also have three group walks in the diary, one in Shropshire, another in the Chilterns and one in the Peak District. I don't want the summer to end.

The heat is in the mid one-teens. It bakes you. No relief within 40 miles. The mountains are the only escape and they are verrry busy. Watching and waiting for a break in the heat. A rain even with the lightening would be welcome.

Well, July was good for me as I had the walk with Norman, a nudist swim and some good weather for gardening and garden nakedness.
Early August has been 0 for nudity as we have been away doing city things and staying with a relative.  However, the weather has been OK and apart from current rain and wind, hopefully we will get a bit more summer before the middle of September.  Mind you I have a mountain of 'stuff to do' which will involve me wearing at least one garment and more usually fully clothed.  I have been naked today but in an hour I have to dress to go to the city to see a play.  We have just had a bit of building work completed at the house and that now needs me to decorate it.  So!  I hear you cry (do I? ), excellent opportunity for naked decorating, John?  "No, no", I respond because the building work was to erect a glassed porch at the front of the house so that any nudity in that will be exposed to the entire neighbourhood!  Whilst there is a small part of me that says "Hang it!  I don't care!  Let the whole village see me naked if they pass by" there is another rather more present and, I think, sensibly larger part that suggests that I appear like them, suitably clothed, whilst I paint the porch.

ive recently been doing the annual hedge trim for a client, took 4 mornings to do the hedges,  approx 1.5 doing the outside of the front hedge, clad in a pair of shorts,   saw 4 dog walkers and the postman.   doing the insides and tops i wore a pair of sandals.   the lady of the house is at home,  shouts when bringing out the coffee so i can done my beach wrap before she gets close..   since finishing the hedges ive been on the 10 year get the shrubs back in some sort of control.... another 4 mornings so far and about half way through .   aiming for 2 mornings a week till its finished but sometimes the weather intervenes.  typically get there at nine just as the client is leaving for work... his wife is there , normally only comes out the house once mid morning with coffee, otherwise im naked till i leave about one.   only have to cover up if im working near the front gate incase a random dog walker passes.

ive got another regular,  mow the lawns one a fortnight job,  takes an hour or so to strim the edges and rough bits with a  string brushcutter, nomally wearing bib and brace overalls and head protection .  then another 3 hours with ride on and pedestrian mowers, wearing the wrap when near the entrance.  during from july on theres also hedges and shrubs to trim which turns it into a full day once a week... depending on weather and what else is happening, i can choose my own day and hours provided the lawns under control and the rest gets done before winter.  the client and wife are semi retired doctors.  sometimes theyre in sometimes theyre out, july they went away on holiday. for most of the month.  august their student daughters are also about at random intervals.   theyve got this massive garden but rarely  come out the house when im about  .   though earlier this summer i did on occasions have mother and daughter trying to teach the new puppy not to bark at the naked gardener. damn thing is small enough to escape through the cat flap , hasnt tried chewing on me yet though.

currently with the amount of naked gardening time i get both for clients and at home i dont feel the need to find the time to get  out for naked rambles as much as i used to.

[jbeegoode]

Nuduke, is it a south facing glass porch? Can the lower in the south sun get under the roof and warm the place? Can you carefully place any obstructions to hide view of you winter sunning?

For me, summer is not the best time for naturism: too many people on the mountain paths. Besides, family life took me a long time. I had two weeks with my grandson. But I still found some opportunities, including a naturist running race on the Atlantic coast in Spain, then a day of beach and snorkeling still in Spain, but on the other side, on the Mediterranean coast. This week a mountain hike in the Alps with two naturist friends, but a little upset by the number of textile hikers met. At the beginning of September I have a week of group naturist naked hiking on an island in Brittany. I can't wait for autumn, the mountain will be quieter.

[jbeegoode]

You always seem to have plenty of fun in spite of the good weather. I could use more exciting new trips like what you just did.
