5 June 2005 - Noon
World Naturist Day Picnic - on the Serpentine, Hyde Park, London
"What
better way to start the month than to enjoy a relaxing, sociable picnic
in Hyde Park with friends - clothes-free (weather permitting) - on World
Naturist Day.
"As
in 2003 and 2004, we'll be meeting just north of the Serpentine, in an area
known as the meadow, between the Old
Police house and West Carriage Drive. (see map
here)
"People
will start to arrive from around 12 noon and we expect to be there all day.
If it's warm enough, some of us will go skinny-dipping in the Serp over
by the lido - that's on the
opposite side to the area chosen for the picnic.
"Steve
("the naked rambler"), Chris
and I and many others expect to be there so please do come along and say
hi.
"The
Royal Parks' agency have confirmed that permission for a small group (up
to about thirty), is not required - any more and we'll just split into smaller
groups - and don't expect to even be aware of our presence, so we'll be
discrete in our enjoyment of all that Hyde Park has to offer.
"If
you can, it'll be helpful to know you're intending join us so please email
[email protected]"
Note: this info is from a post by Richard Collins at nakedwalk.org
which is a new site with information about Steve Gough (the naked rambler)
and his second Land's End to John o'Groat's walk (starting
16 June 2005).
