For many years now I have enjoyed nude walks. I started by just wandering a few meters away from my clothes and, over time, became more adventurous, and more daring! I have enjoyed walks in a variety of places from open countryside to forest trails and have tried different times of day and year. Among the first of my adventures was a stroll along a local beach in the middle of the night. I felt safer under the cover of darkness but there was just enough moonlight to enable me to see. It was mid summer, so the night was warm, and it was a fairly impulsive decision. I was determined to leave my clothes behind , as at that time I had only ever wandered a short distance from my clothes or else taken them with me.

Along the edge of the beach were some fairly distinctive rock formations and I used a tree by one such formation as my base so that I could easily locate my clothes when I returned. I was particularly careful to spend some time listening before stripping off but I was alone, no sight or sound of anyone else. I hadn't planned this particular adventure so I was probably wearing more than I should have which meant undressing and redressing took longer than I would have iked. Once naked, I remained by the tree for a few moments acclimatising before setting off in the direction of the shore.

It was a particularly still night and the waves were gently lapping the shore. I remember noticing how each wave sparkled in the moonlight before spreading across the sand. It seemed so peaceful. I walked for about twenty minutes along the water line, occasionally paddling through the surf. The water was cold on my feet, and the sand seemed warm. I could feel the sand sticking to my wet feet and getting between my toes, then I'd wander into the water and wash it off again.

When I felt I'd gone far enough, I turned and followed my own footprints back. It seemed further and I began to wonder if I'd be able to find my clothes. There was no need to worry. I spotted the rock formation and found my tree with my clothes exactly as I had left them. It was a perfect night but I was starting to feel cold. I was reluctant to get dressed but I was pleased with my achievement.
