This is why I keep reading the newspaper!
BRITAIN: NAKED ODYSSEY Wearing little more than sun screen and boots, Steve Gough is walking the length of Britain to celebrate the joys of nudity. Efficiency is not one of them. His 847-mile trek from Land's End on the southwest tip of England to John O'Groats at the northern tip of Scotland, has been hampered by eight arrests, an examination at a psychiatric hospital and several nights in jail. This week, he is starting over after the Scottish police shipped him back to his starting point in Cornwall for a court appearance. But Mr. Gough, a 44-year-old truck driver, who started his trip on June 16, says he is undaunted. "I am determined to carry on," he said. Apart from being beaten up in St. Ives and told by a farmer in Yorkshire to "put on your trousers," Mr. Gough said public reaction had been largely positive. He hopes to finish his trek by September, barring further run-ins with the police. (AP)
