Stephen Gough makes his way south through Peebles in the Scottish Borders, on Oct. 6, following his release the day before from Saughton Prison. The rambler has 18 convictions and has been in and out of prison since 2006 for offenses ranging from not wearing clothes in front of the sheriff, breach of the peace and contempt of court.
Stephen Gough, known as 'The Naked Rambler,' has spent more than six years in Scottish prisons for refusing to put his clothes on. He was released from prison Friday after serving his latest sentence for public nudity. He has twice traversed the island of Great Britain wearing only boots, socks, a backpack and sometimes a hat.

Good for you Steve, Keep it up ! sorry for the pun lol
NO SHIRT ! NO SHOES ! NO SERVICE ! But pants are optional.
Good for him... no Big Deal... it's Europe... Here in Backwards USA...he would be tazered and beat up by police who like Animals smell weakness when a male is nude and they must attack ....
Seriously, Im A 35 year old Bartender, that has worked in Seattle, Las Vegas, New York and Dallas. Does anyone care really what he wears if anything. Our justice system is @!$%#ed. Worry about Dangerous people not funny crazy naked ones , Wow !!!! If anyone has more to say than lol. get a life.......... We were born NAKED. not saying i would run around naked, Unless the price was right lol. but its his life, if you dont like it, dont look. Plus all Adam and Eve had were Leaves, maybe he was in a town with no trees....................
awesome pics for a awesome man!
Why twice !!
awesome pics for an awesome naked man!
Freak show101............put it away sport, nobody wants to see you naked.
What is it with you old people that you think anyone wants to see your gnarly old wrinkled bods?
Hope you get hit by a car, and it drags you 100 feet and takes your "skin" off.
Wow "weathermen"
A little angry?? Who are YOU to wish harm on anyone...Twerp...Grow up and grow something worth"skinning".
Keep doing your own thing Steve, If for no other reason to annoy weatherboy...
Why does anyone wish harm on a naked guy? And who cares if you like looking at him? Turn your head.
Gee, as if his naked rambling about was all about you. Free clue, he's comfortable. Get over yourself.
Stephan's showing people what freedom is.
I can't help but noticed you looked at the pictures long enough to describe his body though...I think it turned you on, and that concerned you, now you're acting out in denial.
LOL sorry it didnt turn me on. It made me gag. Old baggy skin and saggy testes just arent my thing.
I dont care if he's comfy or not, he's nasty and old, like all of you that just slammed on me...LMAO.
Keep your saggy boobs, little shriveled up penis's etc, out of my sight. Your gross, period.
If your hot, go for it. Love a good, tight azz, male OR female.
Not a great command of the language, eh weathermen? Since you go both ways you might want to cut some slack to a guy who just wants to let it all hang out. FYI, it's 'you're', as in you're a bit paranoid it would seem. Feel threatened by an old naked guy are you? And if you're 'weathermen' there must be at least two of you so maybe there's more than paranoia going on here. If it's supposed to be weatherman that's a whole other set of issues.
Non-par - Keep that spellcheck handy little man-thing, when you dont have anything relevant to say, slam the spelling. Another old fart pissed off...my job here is almost done...
Also for "you're" reading enjoyment :
Your is the second person possessive adjective, used to describe something as belonging to you. Your is nearly always followed by a noun.
You're
You're is the contraction of "you are" and is often followed by the present participle (verb form ending in -ing).
Not a great command of the language, EH!
Have a nice day, dumbazz...EH! LOL
Hey, weathermen, you showed enough interest in his "gnarly old wrinkled bod" to click on the link -- and then looked at the photos. Methinks thou dost protest too much.........
Hey weathermen, read your own again, and check your own great command of the language befor you spout off. I believe you wrote "If your hot, go for it".
He also wrote Your gross". But seriously; I don't rally care about his spelling...Just his outrage at this guy walking naked...He may be older and not an airbrushed hottie like in your eagle-spread women in your magazines that you drool over by flashlight after Mummy tucks you in at night, but that's the point...He's not doing it to get a rise out of you, he's doing it because he enjoys the warmth of the sun, the fresh air and the feeling of not being contained.
I just keep thinking about the weather and how cold it gets. I guess shriveled works for some people.
Would they have shown as much if it had been a woman? I think not.
Undeterred by jail time? What about frostbite?
According to Google it's 43 degrees F, windy and with rain in the forecast!!!
Jayzus, mon, ge' a kilt!
If you say he's nuts, you'll have to prove it to me. I didn't see them!
hey robert.... you say you were looking for his nuts? makes me wonder
It is wonderful how nudity brings out the 9-year old in all of us.
Who cares if he is naked? He would not be wandering naked for long, up here in Alaska. Nude hiking is possible a few days a year, but between the mosquitoes and the long, cold, winters, he would need a new hobby.
Cover your dad gone ding a ling dang nabit, no one wants to see that $hit.
Then look away. Its just that easy. What he does has nothing to do with anyone else. That what he does doesn't meet with your approval is your personal problem.
Well I hope like hell that you are totally facinated with it to the point of being absolutely mesmerized by it. Roast another bowl and stare at it some more.
and if he did that would bother you too
we used to have a culture that said just because your neighbor left his window open didn;t mean you should look through it
now we have a bunch of idiots like you, looking at things and saying oh my god that's offensive, and you look at them just so you draw attention to your self righteous self by screaming how offensive it is
I'm going to have to go raost a bowl just to get the taste of bile out of my mouth from having encountered a monkey like you.
Ha, I bet you're the dude that wears a bathing suit in the showers at 24 hour fitness. Probably even start a petition stating how everyone needs to.
You bat $hit crazy MF's ain't no diff than anyone else, humanity as a whole is going nuckin futs.
I hope there's no @!$%# on his ding a ling, buy, two each his own.
Boy..really getting into what that looks like.
Showing what he is. Gump got it right - Stupid is as stupid does.
Seriously weatherman...did you forget your meds today? Rather harsh, don't ya think...?
It looks like his pecker is in the water bottle
We could be discussinghis shortcomings.
My first thought was, who gives a rats a$$ if he's nude, butt then if I was with my daughter and some guy was walking around in the buff, I guess I wouldn't be so happy.
last pic says....LOL...i won't go there.
Yea, I need meds if I have to see this old fart naked.
And the idiot that says just look away...ok, im driving down the road, and I see this pasty old perv naked, I just look away and..oops accidently HIT him with my car!
See how dangerous he is? LMAO
Ever watch The Office? Doesn't 'weathermen' remind you of Dwight Shroot?
Hey NON-Penis, go back and read your previous post, have a peachy day, EH! <SNICKER>
weather,
Guess what? Someday, unless you get hit by a car or something, you're going to be a wrinkled old fart. And that guy looks a lot better than most men his age. He doesn't have a fat gut from sitting around all day. Most men that age look a lot worse.
If not clothes, then what's in his backpack?
Probably food and water since all you big men would be too intimidated to offer him anything...He burns a lot more calories than you sitting there typing about him. I personally think this guy has a lot of balls!
Is "Thou shalt NOT hike naked" in the bible?
No?
Gee, then I guess it's ok.
So many represed angry people posting on here.
Sad.
Some people say to cover up and that "no one wants to see that". That might be true, but look around at people in general, especially at the one in the mirror. Most people have unpleasant attributes they try to cover in clothing, makeup and hairstyles. Even with clothing, "no one wants to see" your wrinkled face, your age lines, your sagging skin, your oily or scaly skin, your double chin, your primate-hairy forearms, your bald patches, your liver spots, your moles, your birthmarks, your odd proportions, your extra baggy clothing, your huge gut bulging under your shirt, your face that even your mother would no longer care to see ...
I never accept the argument that "no one wants to see that". There's an endless list of debatable things that people don't like to see and the solution is not to ban and cover everything that might possibly "offend" anyone. Simply don't look at it.
Nude , this what should be done in counties in the middle east that the U.S . is in war with , ever see anyone fighting a war NUDE. If there seen wearing anything shoot them on site. I would say the war would be over very fast.
creative...That was far from creative...Just plain stupid.
This guy is awesome. I hope he continues to hike naked. The photographs are beautiful works of art showing how amazing the human body is in all its forms.
He's always naked. So, why the backpack?
he's packin sunblock.
This bozo should do hard time for wandering around naked, ugly, and skanky.
Prison for public nudity??? Seriously, who is he hurting?
