Two joint BN / Nat Ram walks, a naturist evening at Houghton Lodge Gardens (with optional BBQ), and a naked dinner and skittles at the Mill Arms Dunbridge following a day’s walk.
Tuesday 9th June Joint Nat Ram/BN Redshoot Walk
This year we repeat our usual route heading north from the Red Shoot Inn & Brewery up onto the New Forest. The walk typifies the Forest with vast expanses of heather and heathland along with magnificent views. Not to mention ponies, ponds, and extensive WWll history! The walk takes us through the Ashley Walk bombing range where the Tallboy and Grand Slam bombs were originally tested. Some of the targets still exist along with a 12,000lb Tallboy bomb crater. They were used to sink the Tirpitz in 1944.

Following the success of last year’s barbeque evening at Houghton Lodge Gardens we have arranged another BBQ; the gardens will open for naturist visitors from 5.30 pm and will remain open until 8.30 pm. The gardens themselves are a delightful mixture of formal planting and more natural settings, and include direct access to the banks of the River Test.
