Naturist Walking 
It is sad that there are still people who consider the sight of another's body to be offensive, however innocent the activity in which the other is engaged may be. For that reason, all naturist walks must be chosen with some care, as it is not our intention to cause offence to anyone. Fortunately there are still many footpaths in the countryside which are so rarely used that there is little chance of meeting others, and SOC have established a number of walks on which sunshine and gentle exercise may be enjoyed without the encumbrance of clothes. The walks are held on weekdays to minimise the chance of meeting others, and all the routes have been carefully chosen. Most will start and end at a public house, as a refreshing drink or a sociable meal offers an ideal end to a day in the fresh air, and cars can be left in the car park. The walks are generally from eight to ten miles in length, and the pace not too demanding. Stops for sunbathing and a snack are quite frequent if the weather is favourable, and it is a good idea to bring something with you to eat or drink. A pair of shorts which can be slipped on quickly is essential, as we may meet other walkers or the route may pass within sight of a house.
Walking nude in the countryside with friends is such a pleasant, happy and innocent way to spend a summer's day that it deserves to be more widely practiced and accepted as a reasonable thing to do. Non-members are welcome to take part in these walks, but must satisfy the walks organiser of their 'bona fides' first.
The Singles' Outdoor Club Naturist Walks Programme has been going since 1992, and has seen many happy naturist walkers return year after year. The programme offers the ability to be able to walk naked in the countryside and see nature as nature intended. These events have been well supported. Once again our walks organiser has given us a full programme of walks for the coming season.
You may like to visit our Walking Website which is kept up to date with the latest information and also has pictures of some of our walks.
It may be a surprise to those who have not walked with us before that it is often possible to enjoy walking in the remoter parts of the English countryside without clothes. The fact is that most people don't wander further than 100 yards from a car park. After the first ¼ mile we have rarely met anybody on our walks, and, weather permitting, have been able to enjoy naturist walks of lengths varying from 8 to 12 miles. The object of these walks is to enjoy the exhilaration of walking without the encumbrance of clothing. We are not trying to make any political point, or to challenge other members of the public. It is our policy to carry "cover-up" garments which we put on when we see other walkers approaching us or if we realise that we are about to pass farmers working in their fields etc. Just occasionally we have met someone without warning, and have just exchanged a cheerful greeting. As far as we know we have not given offence to anyone in the many years that our walks programme has been in existence.
About these walks:
The walks are chosen to pass through pleasant countryside in reasonably unpopulated areas, and each is usually between 8 and 12 miles in length
We hope to be able to walk for the greater part of the way in the nude, but cannot guarantee that the weather will be warm enough for this! Nor can we be sure that the area will be sufficiently free of other walkers to do so.
It is not our intention to cause anyone any offence or to challenge the law in any way on these walks, so please bring something that you can do a quick cover-up with!
Also please come well equipped with strong walking boots or shoes, a rucksack, a picnic lunch and suitable rain wear and warm clothing. We usually conclude our day with supper together in a pub.

Full details will be made available to bona fide naturists. In your enquiry please give some details about yourself, because you will appreciate we would not want to give full details to non-naturists.
Full information about these walks can also be found in the S.O.C. newsletter. If you enjoy walking or taking part in other naturist activities, whether as an individual or a couple, we invite you to consider joining the Singles Outdoor Club.
