Is “on a bridge” too close to what some have done for “on the tracks”?
In my thoughts for “Good Morning” I suggested “by a Bus Stop”. Is this different enough to traffic lights?
How about by/near public buildings (library, etc)
By a sign post (road signs, roundabout, town/village name)
The similarities do creep in, but I’m struggling to find anything NEW
-
There are plenty of new places:
1. Transportation brings up on a bus/train/plane/ferry/hovercraft etc.
2. Eating/drinking brings up in a cafe, ordering a pint at a pub or having a meal at a restaurant. Last one is difficult but not impossible. I’ve heard of a group that goes out for naked meals.
3. Sports brings up every single sport there is. I’ve yet to find one that people haven’t tried naked.
4. Inside pictures public buildings covers the whole spectrum from a library/museum to a police station/court house. You are probably not aiming for the later though.
I note that one man has walked the length of the UK naked (but he did end up in court a few times). Another farmer in Germany has decided to never wear clothes (though he did end up in court a few times where they decided to make a ruling that he could stick to!)

I like number 1 – I have often thought about doing nudes on our local trolley system.
Number 2 would definitely be a challenge – but would be a lot of fun to try!Sports is a great idea to – I weight lift nude everyday and I box – just haven’t boxed nude yet!
What about doing day to day things nude – like filling up your car with gas, washing your car at a self serve car wash – things like that?
-
1. Public transport is something I think I would really struggle with. There’s a key difference between being nude in the outdoors and other public spaces. I think this comes down to the difference between exhibitionism and simple chosing to be nude. On public transport it’s always going to be seen as deliberate exhibitionism. I’m pretty certain you would get asked to leave!
2. Is actually easier. If I remember correctly there is a photo of someone naked in a beer garden on the NDL. There’s a pub in London that’s does a naked night and definitely a group that goes for naked meals. The subtle difference is that eating/drinking is a social activity. So it makes it your choice.3. In terms of sports I’ve done cycling, swimming, walking and volleyball naked with members of the public or in front of them. Also done yoga and t’ai chi naked but not with a group. I think sports are very easy as it’s not really deliberate exhibitionism plus people have become used to seeing it all!
Hhmm everyday things. It a good one but it would have to be in public view. I’ve done painting naked (makes sense no clothes to clean) and housework naked. But it’s not necessarily in public view. Also some naked gardening. But I would struggle filling up the car with gas (petrol). I guess it’s possible- just drive in naked, pay at tge machine, drive away and try not to worry about the security cameras, the person watching you from the kiosk and anyone else who might drive in! It’s actually a good dare!

I think filling up would have been a good one a decade or so ago, but pretty much every filling station has CCTV these days.
I did suggest a picture in a recognised sporting place which could be indoors or outdoors a couple of years back, a football goalpost, by the flag on a golf green, tennis or badminton net, or a basketball hoop.
Paddling in the sea or a river, may be too easy as there are plenty of nude beaches.
My main problem is that I’m by myself. It’s finding a place not only that fits the criteria, but where I can balance my phone to get a picture. I’m not techie so selfie sticks are out. I live in a railway town and I still haven’t got a railway pic for that very reason, I can never put the phone somewhere to take a pic with both me and the tracks in.
Fortunately I got Julie to take a few dare pics for me when we tried the remote experiment.
-
Petrol stations seem to suffer so much theft these days they need ANPR cameras and CCTV just to survive. I suppose the question is where does that CCTV go.
Maybe if you can find a small local station and tell them you need to do a dare, would they mind? The worst they can say is no. I don’t think you could get them to turn off the cameras though, but maybe they would hold yours?
-
-
I think hightened security, plus ANPR/CCTV make petrol forecourt very risky- approximately £200,000 is being stolen DAILY so they’re not going to switch off any CCTV
-
A sports venue is an option, providing the name, or some other distinguishing identifier is in the picture.
I have one next to a golf flag, but I wouldn’t count that as there’s nothing about what or where in the picture
-
We had a recent paper headline man arrested standing naked in forecourt.
Some of these challenges are getting harder in the UK but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be on the list so long as the caveat remains only do things that are legal in your country
-
What was this man arrested for? Being naked anywhere is not a criminal offense in the UK.
-
I anyways stress the importance of keeping things legal. That’s not going to change.
-
In CA and other states, the local laws are what drive variability. There is also enforcement – in both San Francisco and Palm Springs, bit are known to be forgiving even though there are laws against public nudity. There is a neighbor in SF where nudity is illegal; however, they enforce a “skid mark” where you are ok as long as you have a towel to sit on. In Palm Springs, they will merely tell you to get dressed and maybe a $100 fine (provided that you are not being lewd).
-
This is why I don’t give advice, at all, on the laws outside the UK. Obviously nothing said on this site should be taken as legal advice obviously, but I do point people towards the UK Police guidelines which give a pretty understandable breakdown of what the Police would do if called. If anyone has links to the same official advice for other countries/states, I’d be happy to consider adding those to the links page.
-
-
I suspect thinking about different places to be naked is the wrong approach but I don’t want to rule it out.
Can you do different things/activities naked? Or maybe nudity with different people? (probably too difficult).
-
Any ideas, anyone?
-
Here’s my thoughts (from someone not even on the list to be fair – Must get that sorted)
Park Bench
Balcony
Bridge
Cash machine
Clothes Recycling
Delivery Lockers
Fire Escape
Golf Course
Hotel hallway
Laundrette
Office
Parking Meter
Post Box
Vending Machine
Windmill-
Good ideas. You are now officially challenged to get on the list by the end of next week.
-
I like this list! While they are additional objects that may be similar other dares on the list, the things listed here would be fun and challenging considering each is very public. Gives me some ideas and will do some of these for my own collection!
-
-
- Park Bench
Very similar to Dare 7 (It’s actually mentioned in the definition of that one). - Balcony
Like this one. Could have some difficulties photographing it effectively, but it can be done. - Bridge
Dare 19 has a bridge in it – maybe it would be better to widen 19 to include this fully? - Cash machine
Like this one. - Clothes Recycling
Similar to Dare 5. Maybe in Dare 5 we should require being near something in the carpark? - Delivery Lockers
As these tend to be in public places (and seem to have 2-4 cameras on them), a good challenge. - Fire Escape
Not easy for lots of people, but good otherwise. Could be incorporated into the Balcony idea? - Golf Course
Are any of these public? Don’t want to encourage trespassing. - Hotel hallway
We should already have this one but we don’t. - Laundrette
Similar to Dare 21, but I like it. Also, it’s a classic. - Office
We did discuss “Naked in Work” as a dare a year or so ago. It got voted down. - Parking Meter
Sort of like Dare 6, but potentially in a more active location. - Post Box
Already included in Dare 6. - Vending Machine
Interesting. Wide range of difficulties there. - Windmill
There aren’t many of these around in the UK, but we still have them. And they have them in every US state, so most people should be able to find one. Would we include waterwheels in that too?
- Park Bench

Some golf courses are unenclosed and fully public.
From https://www.thesocialgolfer.com/golf-courses/united-kingdom/london/chingford-golf-course:
“It is public space, so there will be dog walkers, non-dog walkers, cyclists etc. about. But they seem friendly enough and keep to footpaths. Just be aware.”
In Chingford this probably comes about because it’s part of Epping Forest. The Epping Forest Act 1878 dedicated “uninclosed parts thereof as an Open Space for the recreation and enjoyment of the public; and for other purposes”. That it seems allows the Epping Forest Corporation to provide (and, I presume, charge for) golf courses using certain parts of the forest, but did not allow them to exclude the public from those areas to use for other purposes.
The same may (or may not) also apply to some other golf courses where the land itself is unenclosed public property with covenants preventing enclosure or exclusion of the public.

Anyone else going to comment?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I know the aak was for suggestions of activities, but I think these are difficult without using video and harder still as a solo.</p>
I quite like @geekfireball s list, they all offer their own challenges (like finding a windmill), unless that includes wind turbines).Nearly all are accessible to everyone and are very public.
I’d add Sports Venu – for any sporting activity as long as name is clearly visible.
I’m now thinking about where and I could do these
-
We may have to specify what counts as a sports venue. I think having the name in view is a good idea.
-
-
Name in view or sporting equipment, goalpost, gold flag, tennis net etc?
-
This is where details are important. There must be something in the photo to make it clear it’s a sporting venue.
-
If its an outside photo, then signage is probably essential — unless it’s an outdoor gym like the one at https://www.freshairfitness.co.uk/success-stories/bilborough-park-nottingham-outdoor-gym . There, signage probably is not needed to make it obvious that it’s a public place.
-
Indoors, the requirement could similarly be that there’s enough equipment (like https://i.ytimg.com/vi/z07PtPKydVM/maxresdefault.jpg ) to make it obvious it’s not a home studio.
-
-
This discussion was going really well. Where did everyone go?
-
Put something along the lines of, by an identifiable sporting venue, indoors or outside, either by fixed equipment or a signpost?
-
I think we have a general agreement on a list of new dares, excluding those you challenged I think we have the following.
- Balcony
- Cash machine
- Clothes Recycling – although similar to #5, these are usually in more publicly open areas of a carpark so do offer an extra challenge.
- Delivery Lockers
- Fire Escape
- Golf Course (possibly – tresspass is a potential problem)
- Hotel hallway
- Laundrette (we have shop, but those so far have been adult shops where nudity might not be such an issue, i’m not aware of any adult launderettes, plus there are many outdoor ones in the UK)
- Parking Meter (or car park pay and display?) Like Clothes Banks, these are often in full display in the middle of a parking area, so a step up in daring I think)
- Sports Venue/location
- Vending Machine
- Windmill
Over to you @Ed to define the rules. I’m just waiting for these to be approved and I think @SimplyCait is the same 🙂
-
Hmmm, we need to whittle that down to 3-4. 12 is WAY too many.
-
In which case I would suggest
Delivery Lockers
Sports Venue
Hotel Hallway
ATM
If you can stretch to 5 then Balcony
-
-
Maybe have the extras as suggestions, then only add the to the list if you get a submission?
I’ve been away but will work on getting some submissions in, thanks for the encouragement (I think …. !)
-
I keep getting suggestions via private messages.
Someone’s suggested adding a second table for “Advanced” dares or more daring stuff. Someone else suggested having separate UK and US tables to reflect the more restrictive legal setup in the US. I’m not sure if that complicates things more? I already receive photos with no username and no clear idea which dare they are being submitted for.
-
I would say no to both those ideas. We already have the 3 starter dares (A, B, and C) so not really sure why advanced ones need to be separated. It also makes the increase in challenge and opportunity obvious to all who want encouragement.
If you have separate UK & US lists there is a danger that you are implying the dares are legal in that country and state, which can all be very different
-
I think the idea was to have another set of dares much more challenging than the current ones. The more I think about that, the less it sounds viable.
That’s a very good point about US law. I don’t know it, and if it varies from place to place in the US, we can’t possibly take it into account.
The other thing which has been suggested a few times is a table of dares for couples.
-
-
Do the current dates first need ranking/grouping if you are looking to add more. There are some that involved other people/strangers mid way through the list then just naked in the tracks so could be in the middle of nowhere later in the list.
Kind of feels like ranking them then grouping them could be quite beneficial here.
Introductory, a, b,c ,1,
Easy public 2,3,4,11
Medium public, 5,6,7,18,19,22, botel hallway, balcony
Hard public, 8,9 ATM, delivery lockers
Extreme (including others) 10, 12,13,14,15,17,20
Extreme (venues) 16,21 sports venue
Then when you want to add to them you know which category to add them too. And you can see which ones ( the original idea behind that post for in to the increased challenge categories)
-
I like that approach, but I need to assess the logistics. Re-organising the table could prove to be a nightmare.
-
I don’t think they need to be resequenced, that would be a big change. Could you add a code or icon be used to indicate the difficulty- like the Pepper used for hotness by Nandos
-
That would be too much work. I like the idea of using a difficulty icon.
