Britain's Naked Rambler Hits Snag

We always enjoy hearing about creative, different ways to travel. There's something refreshing about it. Britain's Naked Rambler certainly seems to agree. Stephen Gough, 46 (if you couldn't tell from the photo), has been trying to walk the length of Britain naked for about two months now.

Unfortunately he's been arrested twice already also, for public nudity and breaching the peace and just doesn't see the logic in it:

"We talk about human rights and the dignity of man and yet man in his natural state is locked up. It's crazy. It does not make sense.

"We are supposed to be reasonable, our justice system is based on reason, and yet I'm being put away as if I'm some sort of disgusting animal. I'm just a human being."

The irony of it all is that he's already done the trip--back in '03-' 04, although he was arrested 14 times then, so perhaps he's actually doing better this time around. He's also dragged his girlfriend along, naked too of course.
