The United Kingdom: In an event that future generations may see as a crossing of the Rubicon, Stephen Gough and Melanie Roberts have completed their long march into the halls of the heroes of the Nudist revolution. They have trekked nude from Lands End to John O'Groats. On the way they were arrested a total of 14 times. Stephen 9 times and Melanie 5 times. Read more here.

A former marine Gough has been campaigning for the right to be nude. Sustained in their long trek by fellow nudists (please see photo) the pair have been making an emphatic stand on behalf of all nudists. No doubt one day in the future when the Nude revolution has triumphed everywhere this former marine can stand nude amongst his fellows on parade at the trooping of the colour.

Times remain tough for French Nudists. The Gendamerie continue there heavy handed actions against Nudists. Nude activists are submitted to the indignity of being covered with makeshift garments and marched off under the supervision of fully clothed officials.


Paris: However not all is lost for French nudists. The Louvre in Paris has opened an exhibition of the works of Jean Auguste Ingres. In a subtle yet powerful display of solidarity for all nudists, the exhibition again highlights the inescapable links between nudity and everyday life. For nudists who are interested they should read a review by Richard Dormant from the Telegraph newspaper online.

The Nude News Weather has continuing excellent conditions for nudists in Singapore and Sydney. Nudists can expect unsettled weather in Jakarta and Melbourne. Bleak conditions have returned to Prague.
