Promoting rambling
« on: November 07, 2021, 12:15:38 PM »
Hi everyone,
I live in cheshire, which is surrounded by Facebook naturist rambling groups but not actually covered by any. My nearest, snowdonia and North Wales, didn't organize any walks until another  new member and myself got together recently.
So I simply joined my local textile group and posted this:
Hi everyone, thanks for the add...
I joined this forum to get some ideas and hopefully meet up with some people to go walking... looking back over this summer I can see there have been a few walking events posted, but for 1200 members I can only see a few made it to announced walks? I guess it can't hurt to have more people offering walks, so from next spring I will try to run a few.

If I were to plan a walk like this it would be in the 6-9 mile range over about 3-4 hours in probably north wales or the peak district.

A bit about me... I am retired from 30 years of working in Police Forensics. I have spent the last few years living on a boat and am back in the uk until travel is practical again. I did a total of 9 years in scouts, army cadets and territorial army and I have walked Machu picchu Peru on a 7 day route,  the lost city Colombia on a 4 day route and Keet Seel in the Navajo National Monument USA doing the 17 miles return in one day.

I am also an active naturist, so while clothing is legally optional everywhere, anyone wishing to disrobe on one of these walks would be gently encouraged and supported.

After 3 days I have 16 likes and a few positive comments (all from ladies ranging from 'I'll come' to 'each to their own but ill stick to my hot tub'.

So.. to promote naturism.. in pretty much any field really, just join a textile group and be open!

Well done Murray!

The NAG management (Mancoll) look forward to hearing more about your proposed walks. Please take the opportunity to raise this at the Forward with NAG webinar on 29 January 2022.

Unfortunately I wont be able to be at the meeting, I'm going pretty much off grid for 3 months. The plan is to go on a walk with them, then organize a couple of walks for their members. I have another naturist walk guide engaging too. And the post has received more likes even after a couple of naturists posted appreciative comments. The best bit is most of the likes are from ladies, which is encouraging from a diversity point of view.
