Naked Rambler Reaches Journey's End
(submitted by gekkogecko)
Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo! LONDON (Reuters) - A Briton fulfilled his ambition Thursday of walking naked through the length of the country, despite being arrested several times over the course of his half-year trek. Steve Gough, 44, reached John O'Groats at the very northern tip of Scotland, after a 900-mile walk which began at Land's End in the southwest corner of England in the middle of last year. Walking often in near freezing temperatures, he was wearing only socks, walking boots, a hat and a rucksack. Gough said he was blazing a trail against antiquated British indecency laws and establishment attitudes. The unemployed truck driver was arrested several times during his journey after complaints from the public. Not even two brief prison sentences and sometimes outright public hostility put him off his quest. Speaking as he approached his final destination, Gough said it would take time to change people's minds about nudity, but hoped the campaign would be successful. "This is just one step in the whole process of making people aware about our bodies because we are so paranoid about them," Gough said |
