Skinny Dipping World Record attempt

2009-07-05T00:32:00.003+01:00

The 2009 Square Festival in Wales is the location if you are interested in getting naked and participating in the World Record for Skinny Dipping.

The Guinness Book of Records have now introduced a category to include the 'Skinny Dipping' record and the festival organisers for the Square Festival are on the case and will be asking its festival goers to try and join in the record attempt.

The Square Festival this year takes place between the 24th and 26th July, with the location on the North Eastern side of Wales at Borth near Aberyswyth (for your SatNav: SY24 5NA). With the festival taking place a few hundred metres from a beach, it is the perfect location for attempting such a record. The exact time and day of the attempt has yet to be confirmed but should be clear for festival attendees once the festival is on. If we hear more information we'll post it here as soon as we can....

Controversy and Fires at Cap d'Agde

2008-11-27T19:24:00.006Z

Cap d'Agde Naturist resort has made the world news this last week with yet another fire occurring at the resort and with foul play now suspected. A few days ago the club Tantra at Agde was on fire and it is half burnt down and quite a mess. Chateau de tredos also caught fire not long also also.

The story of 3 fires in all now having happened at Cap d'Agde resulted in reports in the world media including on Fox News, USA and in The Times newspaper in the UK (see report here).

Even though the fires are bad and their does apparently from what the reports say, seem to be someone who is upset with the swingers element of the resort and seems perhaps to be setting fire to the 3 nightclubs, it seems realistically as though it is just one or two nutters. Hopefully soon they will find the people responsible and all will be back to normal for the summer season, as I sure it will.

Naturism in the Winter

2008-10-14T13:35:00.004+01:00

Many of you who read this blog and contact me are based in Northern hemisphere and you ask where is good for enjoying naturism in the winter time. Cap d'Agde is open but very quiet between October and May, with many of the facilities closed down (more in the Cap d'Agde eBook). So where is good? A few ideas are:

Florida and Caliente Resort - Florida is warm in the winter with temps still around 28 celcuis and Caliente is a sizeable clothing optional resort. It is arguably not cheap but the facilities are good.

Vera Playa in Spain - is also quite a good resort and although not in peak season, you can still get soem nice weather in this Southern Spanish resort.

Grand Lido Braco in the Caribbean is worth considering if you can afford it. Also in Jamaica is Hedonism II & III and this might be a place of interest especially for couples.

Naturism Books

2008-02-06T00:34:00.001Z

There are not so many naturism books out there on the shelves but a few I have found good and from a new series are from the writers Nick Mayhew-Smith et al. The book 'The World's Best Nude Beaches and Resorts' has recently come out and it is very informative and in my view and quite importantly, quite accurate and up-to-date.

In the same series from Nick Mayhew-Smith et al are also Bare Britain and Bare Beaches and both can be ordered direct from the Bare Beaches website. It is not very often that new naturism books come out and these guides are quite unique in that there are so few guides providing information about where naturism can be enjoyed.

The Bare Beaches website also offers regular updates on material in their books which also makes their books worthwhile. If it is Cap D'agde information you need, you know where to look!

2008-01-16T16:16:00.000Z

One of the highlights of the winter for some of the madder nudists is the Polar Bear swim every Christmas in cities around the world. In English Bay in Canada, more than 2,000 nudist swimmers braved the frozen waters of the bay for the 88th swim.

The swim was watched by as many people, as friends and associates etc stood by on the side and watched the nudist polar bear dip, but dressed and in warmth! The organisers have now sent details of the event to the Guinness Books of Records and they hope that this years 2008 English Bay nudist dip will qualify for the largest number of people at one time to do the nudist skinny dip.

DO you know of any more nudist world records???? What record would you love to try? Send us your blog comments. For naturism swimming in the summer do not forget Cap D'agde resort.
