UK nudist hotel ready for the Christmas season

The Clover Spa and Hotel in Birmingham England is gearing up for a strong holiday season this year.  Yes Virginia, it turns out there really are nudist hotels spotted around the globe.  I'd love to spend some time in a hotel where I could relax and go anywhere in my birthday suit without causing the end of the world.

Nudists protest at County Commission over Haulover parking

Well they're at it again.  County commissioners plan to subtly make Haulover Beach access much more difficult by reducing the number of parking spaces available for Florida's only legal nude beach.  They plan to build a boat storage facility right in the middle of the beach parking lot.  Currently, you park in the lot right across from the beach, walk under a short tunnel and you are standing right on the beach.  With the reduction of 100 spaces from the lot, this usually crowded lot will overflow and then beach goers will have to hike a mile to get to the beach.  This storage facility wasn't even originally planned to be built at this location.  There is no explanation from the county. South Florida Free Beaches/Florida Naturists Association attended yesterday's commission meeting to protest the planned facility.  You would think with all the popularity of Haulover Beach they would be trying to facilitate even more convenient parking and support of the beach than the other way around.

New Zealand nudist club holds open days

Well as the U.S. leaves Fall and heads on into Winter where most nudist clubs and nudists hibernate, it is Spring in sunny New Zealand!  The nudists there are taking advantage of the warmer days to get the word out about nudism.  Andrew and Sharlene Valk, who run Rotura Naturally nudist park opened it to the general public for a couple days this past weekend.  According to Mr. Valk the event was a grand success.  As a result, they are planning even more community outreach programs.  There's nothing like removing the wall of secrecy and wild guesses by the public as to what goes on at our nudist clubs.

New Zealand Court upholds nude jogging

In a case that's run for over a year, the High Court of New Zealand has overruled the conviction of Andrew Lyall Pointon for jogging nude in a remote forest. Based upon the complaint of one woman who saw him jogging nude in Oropi Bike Park he was arrested and convicted of offensive behavior.  The High Court, however, agreed that simple nudity is NOT offensive behavior.  Someone should explain that to the folks in Scotland or even the U.S. for that matter.  Kudos to New Zealand for a sane approach to simple nudity.

Naked Rambler continues his fight

Stephen Gough, aka the "Naked Rambler", has now spent years behind bars for the horrible crime against humanity of walking nude in Scotland.  To date, no one who has seen him walking nude has complained, that is, other than the police.  All they would have to do would be to release him and let him walk back to England but no, the idiots in the court system and government have to break him to save face.  Mr. Gough is now considering taking his case to European Court of Human Rights.  Let us hope he can receive some justice there since there is no justice in Scotland.
