More Great British Skinny Dips! More Naked Heart Walks!
On a grey, dispiriting day here in the North West, it’s hard to imagine that soon there will be sun and warmth (okay, that’s not guaranteed in the UK, but one can hope). And where there’s summery weather, there are naked people enjoying it!
Which brings me, naturally, to the Great British Skinny Dip. I’ve just checked the calendar and found that many Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays over the next few months now list multiple swims, with a few weekday events tossed in for good measure.
And the calendar continues to fill up. I want to give a shout-out to three new dips. First, launching 25 March, we have the Worsley, Manchester swim, which has for the first time been added to the GBSD line-up! It’s a monthly event from March through December (and, we hope, on into 2024).
The second new GBSD is the Portslade Naturist Beach swim in Brighton on 25 June, and last, but certainly not least, is the 22 July Eastney Beach Skinny Dip in Southsea.
Remember, we fling ourselves naked into the water for many reasons, one of the best being to raise needed funds for our charity partner, the British Heart Foundation.
Speaking of the BHF, since I last wrote, tickets have gone on sale for three more Naked Heart Walks!
A brand-spanking-new return walk at Adlington Hall, Cheshire – 26 March.
The Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park, Ripon, Yorkshire - 1 July.
Watersedge, Bishampton, Worcestershire - 23 July, where there will also be a Great British Skinny Dip that day!
Tickets are still on sale for these NHWs as well:
Powderham Castle, Devon - 20 May
Cross Morecambe Bay - 11 June
RSPB Rainham Marshes, Essex - 23 July
There are more NHWs in the works. And remember, if you don’t see any Naturist events in your area – and you know of suitable venues for walks or swims – don’t be shy! Get in touch!
