    I caught up with Howard Dymock recently and he told me all about the recent joint walk with the South Western Outdoor Club (SWOC) during July. “Sixteen hardy walkers joined the walk which fortuitously turned out to be a rare fine day, perfect for naturist waking, dry with a warm breeze and sunny intervals”. Howard went on the say “Thanks to a collaboration between several BN volunteers, BN and NatRam members and the Club, we appreciated SWOC’s facilities and hospitality before and after our nine-mile hike through gorgeous west Dorset countryside. It was predictably hilly and not the easiest going in places, but the views were rewarding and the company pleasant. A mix of those experienced and new to naturist walking enjoyed the day. In view of the success of the venture, we hope to repeat a similar walk in future years. A big thank you to all those involved in the organisation and leadership of the day, and to SWOC for their warm welcome and hospitality”. Howard provided me with a great photograph which will be uploaded and he said “Keen-eyed viewers of the group photograph might just be able to spot the seventeenth naturist, the famous Cerne giant, an enigmatic 180’ tall figure of disputed origin cut into the chalk hillside above Cerne Abbas village”.

Bluecaps' website and Facebook page announces that the trekking has finished but they have confirmed they will honour our booking. So it really is your last chance at this venue!

    In the recent Laser newsletter I listed an "End the Summer with Nothing On" event in Covent Garden on August 31st which was on the BN calendar. I've now been informed the event is cancelled but the website for this event still shows it as on.  The event is organised by Nothing on Events and I'm seeking clarification.

    In the last Laser newsletter I described London as being a naturist desert. Many thanks to Malcolm, Mark and Andy who have written to correct me on this!
    First of all the Noah's Ark swim is inside the M25 in Ewell, Surrey. That mistake was ignorance on my part! I thought it was just outside. However, it's a great swim to visit with first class facilities. The swim is every Sunday between 4 and 6pm. If it's your first visit you must call them on 07940 881 100 in advance. There's a pool a sauna and often activities out of the pool.

    Every Friday between 8.45pm and 10pm (except bank Holidays) the Watford Naturist Swimming Club hold their swim at the Watford Leisure Centre. It's a family friendly event with sauna and steam room. The pool is 25 metres with a dedicated swimming lane. Once again this swim is inside the M25 but this time in North London! Email  info@wnsc.org.uk for more details.

In addition, it has two large outside decks.  The bar will be open throughout so you can purchase drinks for cash or card payment.  Boarding is from Poole Quay at 19.15 hrs with departure at 19.30 hrs and return will be by 22.30 hrs.  You must be dressed to embark and debark the vessel but you will be able to undress after departure and remain naked until just before mooring at the end of the cruise.  This is an adult only cruise.  Several pay car parks are available within easy walking distance of the quayside but beware, there is very little free roadside parking nearby.
