Was a bit of a daft place to have a nudest beach next to a nature reserve, and did make very swift exit and not looking

This reminds me of a story from someone I knew at Uni, who also found this beach by surprise while out photographing butterflies with her boyfriend. She told me that when a man on the beach some what impolitely queried what she was doing with a camera with quite a large lens, her reply was that it was a macro lens designed for taking close ups of very small objects... so in his case it would be suitable!


Anyway, this is unikely to be a problem encountered in woodland well away from the coast! (but be careful if you are asking for directions to areas of interest to naturalists on the Isle of Purbeck!).

Brilliant Mike, I can see I have nothing more to worry about.
