Letters to the Editor

If you go down to the woods today ….

I was coming to the end of a long run, just north of Pitts Wood last Monday when I thought I may be suffering some form of oxygen starvation – ahead of me stood three middle aged men, stark naked, having a picnic!   I didn’t recognise them as locals, but tried not to avoid eye contact.   The all over tan suggested that this was not a one off.   We exchanged courtesies and they offered me a cocktail sausage (declined) and I went off my way.   They were well off the beaten track, and probably weren’t expecting someone practicing orienteering to burst through the undergrowth at 1130 am on a Monday morning.  Nonetheless, I wondered if other readers had seen the three?   Are we happy for the New Forest to be turned into a
naturist colony?
