Naked all the way!

Post by FreeWilderCol »

Hello folks!
This summer we (2 couples) are doing the End to End NAKED! We're raising for MIND and carrying the message Rewild Britain. Me and my misses are starting at John O Groats on a tandem bike, the other couple starting at Lands End, and we'll pass somewhere in the middle.
The logistics problem I have at the moment is getting our tandem to JoG! Has anyone any suggestions? We're on a super tight budget (I ain't worked much for 2 years and she's a student!) so we've got to be inventive... or something....
Any suggestions gratefully received :D

FYI - Facebook can normally only be viewed by people who have Facebook accounts e.g. Your Facebook page just shows me a Facebook login page. Facebook is an increasingly closed community.

Is there no way to carry on and view the page without logging in?
I can view that page without being logged in. Yes there’s a login section but I ignore that.

I get

Nothing I can see to continue without logging-in (but I'm no expert on Facebook)

I'm not raising a "complaint" as it is up to each individual what they want to post online and where. Just making OP aware that Facebook is not as open as they might assume given they must be registered to have created the page ...

Interesting as I have an account but rarely logged in. I only visit to view info as many people/ businesses use it as an easy platform to put out their info.

Guessing but if you have an account and have logged-in (even some time ago) might it still be finding cookies that identify you as a user (just not logged-in).

For example, I have a Google account but only use it for they search engine stats for my personal web site. I stay logged out the whole time except for occasionally logging in, looking at the stats and then immediately logging out. But I still get all the Google cookies from the login stored on my computer so they know I have an account even though I'm not logged-in.

Our OP.

Just a word of warning.
You may possibly have legal problems along the way, especially in Scotland.

From what I remember, the Naked Rambler and his equally naked girlfriend had problems in England, but when they crossed the border into Scotland, they were arrested.

All this might be old rules and now updated, but it's worth checking the existing rules. You don't want to fall foul of the law(s).

It all sounds pretty stupid! There seems to be an anti-this or anti-that activity going on all the time these days. It's all just barmy!

I’d forgotten about the naked rambler. He spent a lot of time in and out of prison in Scotland. Be interesting to see how Police Scotland handle this one. As a distraction to traffic maybe a police escort out to England?

Yes, we were saying the same thing only the other day, the country seems to be peppered with big mouthed bullying folk with some sort of grudge continually whinging on social media or forums like this seemingly just eagerly waiting to be offended.
