'My motto is dump the clothes, dump the worries...' the naturist, 78, encouraging others to get their kit off
A great-grandad who has been a naturist all his life says his motto is 'dump the clothes, dump the worries'. Derek Wooldridge, 78, says naturism is 'brilliant' for people's mental health. While he says it can relive stress, he maintains it "is not about sex at all".
“I was playing with one of my pals who lived across the road from me and we went down to his garden," Derek said. “The sun was shining and it was a lovely day. Derek said the telling off didn't put him off. I wouldn’t call myself a worrier, but I was taught that other people could have their opinions and you can have yours, and sometimes they differ.
He said: “It relieves stress to no end. It’s very freeing.” He recalled an incident when he was on holiday with a former wife and their car broke down, while his the spouse was stark naked. He said: “One of my sons is in a little naturist group and they go off in their caravan with other naturists, and they trust their group and feel safe. But, often naturists don’t mix with different generations, and we don’t as a family.
