Its been big news here in the UK at the moment as a nude hiker has been spotted the Pennine Way.

So I suppose it raises a few questions:

1. Who cares about people wandering around the countryside in the nude?

2. What is the situation where you come from (I suppose at extreme latitudes it probably isn't much of an issue - although DarkGarden midnight nude snow rambles are legendary)?

Emps, you've been busted! it's one thing to be gardening in your own back yard at 3am nekkid... i'm sure your neighbors have taken measures to prevent themselves from having to see such a sight (like really thick curtins)....but to go prancing around the woods nekkid offending the wildlife like that is just not cool! let alone scaring other hikers!

Because:

1. I am know for not wearing trousers (Imperial robes are so much more comfortable).

2. I like a good stride through the countryside.

This does not make me the mystery nude rambler

HA... it make's you the most likely candidate! look how easy it would be just to slip outta your robes when no one was lookin. hell, if superman can change super fast in a phonebooth with no one noticing...i'm sure you can derobe/re-robe in the woods pretty quickly!

i wonder....maybe i should email the paper.....tell them i know who their nekkid hiker is. get my lil 15min of fame while i can

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Xpirex: Good try but I'm much, much hairier than that

In fact that is why I don't go nude hiking as I'd cause an outbreak of Yeti sightings.

Hey now, just because Emperor is stalking the nude hikers doesn't mean he *is* one.....

I have a climbing partner who has several recorded FNA (first nude ascents) on local peaks. We are headed out this afternoon to do a little roadside rock climbing. I 'll try to talk him into staying clothed.... it's a sunny day and I would hate for him to get sunburned.

I'm a bit more modest and usually climb in a thong...
