The weather has been amazing for the last few weeks, It has been so warm that we have pretty much spent all of our time at home and in the garden naked, so much so that we pretty much have only been putting clothes on to go out to the shops or for work. We have also been out a lot enjoying the sun and spending as much time as possible walking naked.
Marian came to stay with us for a few days to spend some time being naked 24/7 (as her husband Drew is not a fan of naturism), and we managed to do an amazing nude walk that I have been thinking about for a long time.
The walk is long (around 10 miles) and basically strings together a few of our shorter walks into one long trip. I had been waiting for a good opportunity to do the walk with Andi as I didn’t want to do it on my own as its a bit of a commitment, with lots of points where you have to pass spots where textiles may be on the beach and i wasn’t sure what kind of response I would get. I felt that it would be better to do the walk with a woman to “soften” the encounters.
As it happened, Andi decided it was too much to take on, but I was able to persuade Marian to do the walk with me when she was staying with us, to be honest she didn’t take much persuasion, as she has become a real lover of naked walking in public. This actually worked out well, as Andi was able to support us by driving to meet us at strategic points on the walk with water and snacks, this meant that we could do the walk without carrying any bags, the way we like to go, totally naked, with no emergency coverups or clothes.
We set off from the car park at Aberthaw, trying to time our walk so that we arrived at the point at the western end of Stout Bay as the tide as falling, just enough that we could get round the point. We had a pretty uneventful walk along the beach here, only passing two dog walkers, but we did see a couple of people on the costal path at the top of the beach, and a couple sunbathing on the beach near Summerhouse Bay.
We approached the beach at Llantwit Major with a degree of trepidation as we could se a number of people on teh beach as we approached. In the end it was OK, although we had to pass a few textiles as they walked down the beach, and there were a few fishermen at the water. Andi had parked up and was waiting with some drinks and snacks for us (but not our clothes – they were in the car!), so we sat for 15 mins or so just to the west of the beach access point.
We continued on past Tresillian Bay which was deserted, and on to St Donats, which wasn’t deserted and We had to pass a few people out on the beach here, and we had a few surprised looks as we walked past and said hello. One guy (with his partner) just gawped and gawped at Marian, which amused her immensely!
We pressed on towards Nash point which was our next arranged meet up with Andi, but which was a fair distance away. The beach from St Donats to Nash point is simply beautiful, with an amazing wave cut platform, and spits of sand, depending on the tides, and looks amazing, so we really enjoyed this part of the walk. The beach at this point is pretty exposed to the cliff top path, and we could se a few walkers up there. We didn’t meet anyone on the beach itself, but we could see people on the beach ahead of us at Nash point.
Sure enough, as we got to Nash point we could see a few people on the beach, some down at the water edge and others sitting further up the beach near the aces point. We walked on, until we saw Andi, 50m or so past the access point near the top of the beach. She saw us and walked down to meet us with some bottles of water. Andi had been there about an hour and had taken the opportunity to get naked and do some sunbathing, so she was naked as she came down the beach to meet up. I admit that I was so pleased to see my naked wife that I got a bit of a rise as she walked down the beach, this wasn’t helped by Marian who couldn’t couldn’t keep her hands to herself and it obviously amused the two women and one guy who were sitting together about 30 meters from where Andi had been sunbathing.
After a rest and some drinks and food Marian an I set off again. Andi walked about 15 mins with us, then turned back, to then drive on to meet us at Dunraven bay. We walked on, along a very quiet stretch of beach until we got to the access point for Monknash beach. Again there was a few textiles at the top of the beach near the access point, but we just walked past and continued along Monknash beach.
This is another amazing place, with very dramatic scenery and is quite popular, so we expected to encounter a few people on the beach, especially as it was approaching low tide, but surprisingly the beach was almost empty. We just walked on but ended up stopping to briefly talk to a M/F textile couple in swimmers walking towards us who asked us what we were doing walking naked on the beach. We explained that we loved to walk naked on beaches, and that we had just walked naked all the way from Aberthaw. Their chins nearly hit the sand as we explained, and we left them wondering what kind of odd species they had just encountered.
We walked on past the ledge at the western end of Monknash beach which always has some naked people camped out and headed on past the ladders towards Dunraven. Andi had stashed her stuff on the beach at Dunraven and walked naked eastwards to met us with a bottle of water. We met up just west of the ladders and went down to the water edge on a sandy spit to have a drink and rest. We all had a dip in the sea to swim and cool off, then headed back towards Dunraven Bay. We passed two male walkers who were heading east (they had a good gawp at the naked bloke with two naked women!), and we met a lone naked guy who was sunning just up near the top of the beach, and then suddenly we were at the beach at Dunraven Bay and Andi’s stash.
The beach at the Dunraven bay end had a few people on it, mostly wearing swimming cozzies, but there was a few naked people (men and women) in evidence, so we stretched out for a well deserved rest and and more water before having another naked swim to cool off.
The tide was well on its way in by now, so we packed up and (reluctantly) put on some clothes to head back up the steep path back to the car, then home for some proper food and a well deserved glass of wine in the garden.
This was easily the best naked walk we have ever done, but i was glad to have a naked woman with me – Probably avoided a few issues when we were walking past some of the textiles. It was fantastic to do the whole 10 miles fully committed to being naked, with no bags, or emergency cover ups. For us it is the only way to walk naked, we really get a buzz from the proper commitment this gives us.
It was very hard work at times as it was such a long walk, and we would have struggled to deal with the logistics without Andi meeting us with drinks and snacks a couple of times. Originally we were planning to park a car at the far end, and leave a stash of clothes and drinks on the beach at the Dunraven end and then walk the whole thing fully committed. The day we did the walk was so hot that we probably would have had to take a bag with drinks and snacks in it, as 10 miles is a long way without any!
Its is a fantastic walk though, and fully recommended to anyone who really wants to go for it and push their naked beach walking to the limit. Bear in mind though that you are guaranteed to meet textiles, and need to be totally confident in walking naked in public, and be happy to spend several hours naked in public. The full walk took us around 5 and a half hours including rest stops, so its not for the faint hearted…
Have fun and live naked!
