The first time I can really pin point being aware of naturism was as a young child. I lived in a small village in the Cotswolds and a local pensioner used to ride around on his bike naked. The first time I saw him I said "Look that man is naked." - my parents said "Yes that is old .... , he is no harm, he is a naturist and like to be naked." I saw him many times and no one in the village seemed to care as he cycled around naked and went about his day naked - it is a shame others didn't decide to follow his lead.At least it is a positive thing that no one seemed offended by it.

It all started back in high school when I discovered the joy of skinny dipping. The cliche type story.

There was a programme on BBC in. I think, 1979 called "Lets go naked" which we watched but we did not immediately get into Naturism. Two years later we were on holiday in Eastborne Sussex with our the two children. We decided to do a day trip to Brighton where the Nudist beach opened the year before and we thought we would take a look not actually intending to participate. However, strolling on the beach to the naturist part I said that "while we are here shall we try it?". Yes was the answer. We took our clothes off and I went for a swim whilst Trish stayed with the children. What a lovely experience to come out of the water without a dripping costume. Trish then saw a lady with information about CCBN (now BN) and went to chat with her and that was her first time having a conversation with a naturist whilst naked herself. We left with the literature and became members of CCBN and later found a club to join.

I am really not sure when I first heard the term "nudist" Maybe it was in high school? I remember seeing my grandfather take naps in the afternoon completely nude when I was young. It seemed perfectly normal. I also remember my brother and I enjoying the freedom of taking off our clothes and playing around or playing video games when our parents weren't home. We were latchkey kids. We were close in age and got along in general. That was probably between the ages of 9 and 12 I guess. Our mother didn't really care about her two kids and nudity. Our father was a different story.
