Be as inventive as you can be, cover up in the smallest possible way, or totally exxxxagerate what you already have.

It is a completely ridiculous stance by the police (not law, just the stace of the LBP), and the only one of it's kind in the UK. Another step forward in the right to express ourselves eh chaps?

Location: Middle Meadow Walk, Edinburgh

Ride information

Duration

The ride will take about an hour most likely.

The police will arrest anyone totally starkers for breach of the peace. What's the point? i hear you say, well we can still have fun, get painted up, put a sock on your cock, tassels on your nipples and show that there is nothing wrong with nudity, but by forcing us to cover up, we are only highlighting our fun *private parts*. Be as inventive as you can be, cover up in the smallest possible way, or totally exxxxagerate what you already have.

It is a completely ridiculous stance by the police (not law, just the stance of the LBP), and the only one of it's kind in the UK. Another step forward in the right to express ourselves eh chaps?

Photography

Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.

Directions

Middle Meadow Walk is a long tree lined avenue through the Meadows Park. At the north end of the Walk is Teviot Place and at the south end is Argyle Place. Here is a link to the map and here is a map of the Meadows. Here is an excellent photograph that shows what Middle Meadows Walk looks like.

Publicise the ride

Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Edinburgh location (TBA). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.

Get involved

If you want to get more actively involved in the ride, register your interest in the ride at [1]. Also please join the yahoo group for General UK rides announcements and discussion
