We once revisited a beach in Cornwall that we hadn't been to for many years and found it had been taken over by naturists.
It was a sight to behold.
And yes, I think there might be a hygiene issue, though of course you're still at risk on many of Britain's beaches anyway from seagull droppings, dog poo etc.

According to a friend who tried it, they carry around little towels to sit on.

So Minette no worries on the hygiene front and you're all set to go.

Let us know how it goes grin

Me again - also...I may be being silly about this bit...but is there a hygiene issue with lots of bare behinds using the same chairs and what have you?

Got chatting to an old friend who I bumped into in the supermarket yesterday - and she mentioned she was just back from a naturist holiday. I was stunned! Would never have had her down as the type to whip off her clothes in public. Made me wonder whether I have been too judgemental about the whole idea of naturism. It's not that I'm a prude - just self conscious and with wobbly bits to boot. Mentioned it to my husband last night and he thought it sounded great. Now I am panicking that he may want to give it a go some time.

Has anyone ever tried it? How long did it take you to be able to relax and enjoy it?
