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

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
