End of the road for the Naked Rambler

JOHN ROSS


HE HAS amused and horrified in equal measure. He has been laughed at, beaten up, accused of being a pervert, arrested, jailed and become one of the most famous people to take the well-travelled route from one end of the country to the other.

Yesterday, Stephen Gough, the man dubbed the Naked Rambler, finally reached the end of his journey, John o’ Groats, seven months and nearly 900 miles after setting off from Land’s End.

Gough, 44, was cheered to the finishing line by a group of local residents and celebrated with a bottle of champagne - and by putting on his clothes.

Despite having not washed for seven days, he stopped short of taking a plunge into the Pentland Firth as the water was too cold.

However, his insistence on walking wearing just a bush hat, boots and carrying a rucksack, which led to him being reported to police on numerous occasions, was attacked by one MSP who accused him of seeking self-publicity to the cost of the Scottish taxpayer.

Gough, a former Royal Marine, took so long to complete his marathon as he spent five months behind bars.

In all, he was arrested 15 times, four times in the Highlands, and made four court appearances. The cost of legal hearings, as well as his accommodation in the already overcrowded Porterfield Prison in Inverness, where he spent Christmas and New Year, is estimated to be several thousands of pounds.

As he reached John o’ Groats yesterday, he told the waiting media that he undertook his walk as a protest, in order to celebrate the naked human form, and to try to convince the public to stop being "paranoid" about the naked body.

He said: "Despite landing up in jail so often, my mind was set to complete this mission, aimed at making people think more liberally. There is nothing wrong with the naked body, but unfortunately changes in thinking will happen slowly.

"I can’t say I was annoyed at being arrested because it actually helped increase the publicity. Without the harassment then there would be no journalists here. In fact the police officers who I have met have been very kind to me and wished me all the best throughout. I appreciate the law is different in Scotland.

"In England they really just let me get on my way, but there is no such discretion here."

He said he was looking forward to a big meal, having run out of food and been forced to drink water from streams.

He said he may write a book about his adventure.

Gough, of Eastleigh, Hampshire, has had repeated run-ins with the law in England, Wales and Scotland en route. He has appeared three times at Dingwall Sheriff Court and once at Inverness Sheriff Court in recent months, and was released from prison only last Thursday. Each time he appeared in the dock naked apart from a blanket held up by a police belt.

He was charged on each occasion with breach of the peace by conducting himself in a disorderly manner, walking naked in the presence of the public.

He was jailed twice and spent a total of five months behind bars. While in Porterfield, he refused to wear clothes and was placed in solitary confinement.

He still faces trial in Duns, Perth and Inverness on similar breach of the peace charges.

But Mary Scanlon, a Highlands and Islands Conservative MSP, said she was glad Gough would be leaving Scotland.

"Given that Porterfield is the most overcrowded prison in Scotland and has staff shortages, the presence of the Naked Rambler has added to the existing problems at the prison. Its outrageous that the Scottish Prison Service has to pick up the tab for this person.

"If someone wishes to highlight their human rights I don’t see why the taxpayer should pay the bill."

Mrs Scanlon said the walk seemed to be more about self-publicity than making any claim for naturism

You honour me Sue.
These are both in far better condition than me.
I am awash with envy!

PP, if I may be as bold to refer to you in such a familiar manner when we have only jusy met, could you do me the honours and explain to a poor boy what that means and he will be forever in your slipstream.

ROFLMAO = rolling on floor laughing my arse off...

did you mean slipstream or midstream ?

Whichever you prefer babe.
I am dumbstruck in your prescence.
Actually that's not the right word is it ?
Starstruck is more apt my highness above all others.

i'm glad you know your place .. just dont get ideas above your station

My first wife was also introverted like me and it didn't work. Luckily I'm
now married to a very extroverted lady.

One thing I do know is that the pressure will be on if we emigrate as I
will have to push myself out there more to get a job, make friends etc.




Paul

I would say that I'm an extrovert, will talk to anyone about anything and say exactly what is on my mind.I would say that Andrew is mixed up, lmao. He is quite shy. I think he would have still been standing back to the wall at singles club where we met had I not gone and chatted him up. Andrew doesn't really start conversations with people, I get the eye rolling and 'here we go again' when I strike up a conversation with anyone but he is very opinionated speaks his mind. Explain that one PP or should we call on Mr Bannister for this one. He seems to have it all sussed out.

Best Wishes
