outside nude
I hike naked and am likely to encounter other hikers. I put something round me as they approach. They know I'm hiking nude (they saw me at the same time as I saw them). But I prefer not to upset those around me.
Having said that I'm not shy or against uncovering if they indicate they are comfortable with my nudity. Indeed I've lifted my kilt revealing all in many places when asked by a lady.
It is not illegal to be nude in public in England, provided you're not doing anything that could be interpreted as exhibitionistic. The laws covering this had been interpreted in various ways prior to being clarified early in 2018. I've walked with some organised nude hiking groups. Before the clarification we used to cover up if it was decided the circumstances required it, now we tend to stay nude if we encounter other people. But when passing through villages or near isolated homes we will cover up.
This is true. I was hiking with about 50 other naked hikers in Scotland last spring. A lady hiker was confronted by this procession of nudes. She complained to the police saying she'd come face to face with a man who's penis swung down to his knees and should children be confronted with this (yes he was flattered). The police advised her we were totally within our rights and took no action.
My action in covering up is in sympathy for the textile hikers I encounter. After all nudists have lost their ability to be naked in Barcelona and San Francisco after flaunting it. Our legal right to be naked in public in the UK was after a long and hard fought battle. It would be a pity to loose it by upsetting those around us.

I think we have similar attitudes to being nude in public Olly. To me co-existing as a nudist with textiles is similar to how I try to get on with people in other areas of life. If we can respect that we have different ideas, expectations and interests to other people it makes life easier. Whether I'm nude in public as an individual, or as part of a group like the nudist hikers we have both walked with in situations I understand that not everyone is pleased to see naked people. I'm not into forcing my nudity on those who don't appreciate my preferred state, its more about getting different outlooks balanced, whilst I still want to enjoy life naked in as many ways possible now our rights to do so after the work done to clarify the laws in the UK.
