“Naked hike . . . we head off back towards the South for the last hike of the year.  This is a very inspiring . . . route on the South Downs, with views down to the sea, and finishing off with a lovely woodland stretch. . . After we reached the summit of Bignor Hill we headed off into the woods, and with GPS in hand, Bernie took us on a wide swing out into some wonderful countryside where we stopped for lunch.  Then, heading downhill, we encountered some wonderful little glades, sweeping fields, pheasants and interesting old gnarled trees.  With about 2 miles to go, we found ourselves in the dense undergrowth of the wonderful Houghton Forest, that finally, after some serious bramble hacking, naked! led us back to our cars.  Wow! 7.5 miles and 4 hours later we knew we’d been on a proper naked hike! . . . it’s a wonderful experience!” – Peter, http://www.meetup.com/Socks-off/events/224743156/

“Sleeping Clothes Free Outside ROCKS!  The sun is just so soothing, and the sound of trees whispering sweet nothings to me was too much to resist.  Ok, but I did worry about falling asleep on one side, and then waking up an hour later with a completely uneven back-front tan like peanut butter on one side and dark chocolate on the other.  My friend seemed to have developed natural auto-timing, and flipped back and forth on a mysterious internal clock.  Me?  I was counting ‘One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi…’ to stay even.” - hontounheart, http://clothesfreelife.com/2015/08/06/clothes-free-vacation-pt-4-fun-bits-firsts/

“The heartland of public nakedness also still has a plethora of designated FKK beaches and nudist zones in public parks and on beaches.  The English Garden in Munich has two large FKK areas on the banks of the Eisbach creek.  Berlin public parks have FKK areas: the famous Mauerpark in Prenzlauer Berg, the Volkspark Friedrichshain and the Tiergarten, and it’s permitted to get naked on all Berlin’s public bathing beaches, such as at Wannsee or the Mueggelsee. . . Sylt’s Kampen beach might now be a popular destination for the rich and famous — but in Germany, they too love getting their clothes off.  For those who like to put some distance between themselves and the next naked bather, Germany’s largest Baltic island, Ruegen, has no fewer than five FKK beaches.  A full list of public nude bathing areas is available in German at nacktbaden.de. . . As these are mostly located in areas with a mixed dressed/undressed crowd, there’s no problem with partially disrobing until you feel comfortable.  There are no changing rooms, so undressing takes place in public — but again, not one German is going to be offended by this.  Most FKK beaches on the coast will also have signs indicating textile-free zones.  After passing these signs visitors will need to disrobe immediately to avoid being reprimanded by the lifeguards who also enforce the rules.” - http://gantdaily.com/2015/05/06/naked-people-all-around-how-to-be-nude-in-germany/
