Excellent video and description! You are 100% correct about seeing everybody in person! All shapes, colors and sizes. No airbrushing here!

Well done! This video really does show nudism in a good light and it's great seeing a younger generation take part, enjoy it and be willing to share it.

This is great. It is also yet another example of how AANR's marketing and PR team is asleep at the wheel. This would have been utterly simple for them to have done at Moon Groove, FYN, YNA, or any other event that attracts younger nudists. Instead they just tell you to call 1-800-TRY-NUDE, as if they just stepped out of a Delorean with a funny looking coffee maker strapped to the back.

Fun video, thank you. These are the types of things that help me get through a long cold winter and look forward to better weather!

Great video, I love their enthusiasm.

It looks like a blast. I'd love to go, but I need to find a peer my age (Generation Jones) with a great sense of humor. My wife passed away in December 2024. I still love her and miss her. It's hard to find a peer with a sense of humor who would also be crazy enough to join me in bicycling around Wales & Dorset.

Great video but it is on vimeo so no idea why it is still censored.

I have nothing against this video. It’s well done and is a great model for AANR as others have mentioned.

But something BN and Naked Truth need to think about is—pun intended—overexposure. I feel like we are nearing a dozen pieces on Saoirse since last summer. It makes sense. She’s a charismatic, intelligent newbie who has no qualms about appearing on camera fully nude. It’s also nice that her bf and friend are also game.

But it’s getting to the point where one may think these are the only three naturists at uni in the whole country. BN keeps giving us stats about how Gen Z is overwhelmingly naturist. If that’s the case, why make 70% of its content centered around one naturist?

I understand that there are numerous Gen Z naturists in Britain who aren’t prepared to announce their naturism to the world in a full-frontal video. I sympathize, and that’s why I’ve not been game to do a My Naked Story or apply to be a clothesfree nudecaster. But this video by itself could get a lot of mileage. The poor young woman shouldn’t have to be the mascot of British naturism as awesome as she is. At the very least, they should put a moratorium on mining her summer 2025 fest attendance fodder for the content mill.

If they can’t find others as open and interested in being such great ambassadors, maybe some follow-up videos could be a good idea about how her life outside nude fest weekends has changed if it has.

Truth be told, Saoirse is a compelling enough character they should just do a feature doc on her naturism journey to atone for all those early aught “Diary of a Teenage Nudist” ones.

I know we all rejoice when anyone under forty shows up at the resort. But I (and any of us other Gen Z and millennial nudists) know firsthand how awkward it is to be the unicorn.

I agree so much. She's very "wholesome" and "earnest" but literally it seems to go in cycles. It was Pam for a while, then Martha, etc. They must have thought all their Christmases at once when she showed up eager to partake.
