"Naked rambler" takes girlfriend on nude UK walk
LONDON (Reuters) - A 46-year-old former Royal Marine who braved 14 arrests and five months in jail to walk the length of Britain wearing nothing but his boots sets out on Thursday to repeat the naked journey -- and this time with his girlfriend.
Well, what's wrong with the odd ramble? Might be rather chilly, after all June in England has not been quite the 'Med' climate the weather bods keep singing about, and the happy couple might end up like a pair of wrinkled prunes.
No law against that.
Given the way the road runners of Britain roar about our highways and byways with intent to deprive the rest of us, our freedom to life, liberty, and all four limbs, I can't see why the guy is a traffic hazard.
Apparently his nude ramblings have earned the intrepid Mr. Gough yet another arrest on that count.
"There are no laws in this country saying you can't walk naked," Gough said. "All it says is that if you are naked and you have an intent to harm, that's a crime. I have no intent to harm. I'm just going to walk from Land's End to John O'Groats."
Yes, that's all he's going to do – ramble a bit, starkers. Fine. Why don't the cops concentrate on the crackpots in their Range Rovers, complete with 'cattle- bars'?
Lock 'em all up and leave Mr. Gough to his walk, with all his dangly bits enjoying the fresh air. That's what I say. Yep.
