Too funny not to share:

In reply to HakanT:

Well in a gesture of solidarity I'm going to take all my kit off at noon 1 July on top of Ben Nevis. So there. Get ready world.

In reply to HakanT:

So they've actually got a £860 quid and a three day jail term (backdated)

Enough/ Not enough punishment?

In reply to goose299:


Enough, though I wonder if we'd have been so lenient with naked frolics in Westminster Abbey.

In reply to HakanT:

Apparently all this nakedness caused the earthquake. Good job they weren't gay streakers.

D

In reply to HakanT:

I wouldn't mind seeing the baps that made the earth move.... they must be epic!

But on a more serious note. I would hope that we would have been more lenient if a delegation from Asia came over and streaked through Highgate cemetery.

Whilst poorly thought through and a little disrespectful I don't think it justified the reaction it got which i would think has been on par with that chap peeing on a wreath of poppies on a war memorial in Sheffield.....

In reply to goose299:



Just time served so they're free to go now (I suppose?) I'm glad they're free to go.

BUT were they or were they not dumb for "posting the photos on social media" while they were still in the country? Or have I got it wrong?

In reply to abseil:
i think the person who had posted the photo was outside of the country but the people who were in the photo were in the country....


I might be wrong though

In reply to HakanT:

Wander if there would have been such leniency if they put bolts in Stanage

In reply to HakanT:

Hope this doesn't put anyone off their tea..

In reply to robal:


OK, and thanks for that!

In reply to jezb1:

Bloody hell, bit of warning would have been nice :S

In reply to goose299:


Yes. It's shocking to see bicycles up in the mountains like that.

In reply to goose299:


Was going to put NSFW on it, but left it too late to edit..!

In reply to jezb1:

I'm say it's reasonably work safe, it just hurt my eyes

In reply to goose299:

Haha, remember as much as it sounds like it might work to erase the image from your retinas, bleaching your eyes is not a good move.

In reply to Mike Stretford:


You actually think we'd do as much as even fine someone?

In reply to Ridge:


I agree with you, but wasn't the naked rambler dragged into court? I can't remember what happened to him....

In reply to abseil:


He was front page news two days ago. He's a disturbed individual not a stupid young girl.

In reply to Philip:


Oh, OK, thanks for the information.

In reply to Ridge:


Given the systematic persecution of the naked rambler...

Either nudity is okay or it isn't. The UK is just as nutty in believing that there is something criminal about our natural form.

In reply to goose299:

I may be incorrect but they have been convicted of an offence right ? So now have a criminal conviction and when filling out visa arrival forms in the future will have to declare this. Also has this girl from Derby been evicted from the country ? if so thats another declaration she will have to tick on the arrivals document form in the future. I also think (and maybe wrong) that you can't get a visa for USA (and other countries) if you have been convicted for an offence.

So the repercussions for future travel could be a little more limited by what she/they have done

In reply to HakanT:

What the Malaysian authorities really need to deal with tourists stripping off on their sacred mountains is some sheep's bladders.

In reply to Ridge:

Yeah. I think the sort of hyped up shit storm that led to the arrests could easily happen here too.

I'd prefer it if we were more secular and rational, but I think we have our own 'mountain spirits'.
