A couple who were filmed cycling nude through a town centre this weekend have warned people will be seeing more of them as they plan to be seen across the UK. The pair were spotted in Southport town centre at around 7pm during the jubilee weekend.
Sharon Rimmer told the Echo : "We slowed down to ask them what they were doing and they said they were cycling from Land's End to John o'Groats for charity."
The bike ride was a practice ahead of their big ride to raise money for Rewilding Britain, which works at "restoring ecosystems" to a point where nature can maintain itself again, as well as for the mental health charity MIND. The people involved are from the naturist group Free Wilders who encourage rewilding across the country.
Posting on their Facebook they said: "Fab practice ride to Southport today. Today was about testing our lovely merino saddle covers made by Owen Barry Tannery! Check out our mission later this month, 1000 miles naked for Rewild Britain and MIND."
The 874-mile trip will take place later in the month, with two people cycling north to south and two others cycling south to north in a bid to raise as much money as possible.
Colin and Sadie, the two cyclists spotted yesterday, have started up a fundraiser to raise funds for equipment with the pair expecting the trip to take up two weeks as they take their time throughout the journey.
