Normally, May wouldn't really be warm enough (I'm an American who
usually finds England chilly, even in July), but considering the
crazy ( ie *hot*) summers they've been having the last couple of
years, you might just luck out.
As for a place to go nuding...hmmm...I'll leave that to the natives
to provide info.
Have good trip!
Sue
PS Is it Upper Heyford you're going to? I seem to remembere that being
on the route to Banbury.

| Hi Tom,
I direct you to a couple of my notes from last year as to where I recommend.
As for places inland, you'd probably have to find a club to go to, which as
a single (read "not with wife or girlfriend") male is difficult at the best
of times, even when you live over here.
From Oxfordshire, you have about a 2-3 hour drive to Studland bay. I should
try this rather than either Brighton (also about 2-3 hours away) or Fairlight
Glen (which would be about 3 - 4 hours).
By May, the weather should be OK, though don't expect any heat-waves ;-)
Good weather can't be guaranteed, though.
If you need directions to Bournemouth from where you are in Oxfordshire,
mail me. Note, the times depend on where you are in Oxfordshire, the level
of traffic, and day you travel on (start out EARLY if you want to drive on
May bank holiday weekend!!!)
Have a good trip.
Rob.

| 296.3 | Nude - now? not me. | DUCK::NASHD | | Sat Mar 16 1991 05:06 | 18 |
| Maybe I'm a closet nudist I don't know, anyway I saw this conference
and I've been looking through it when I saw this note.
I live 26 miles from Oxford, and it's a little further to Banbury.
Studland Bay, Bournemouth or Brighton , in fact anywhere outdoors in
the nude at this time of year? Do you have thick skin?. I went out
this morning with 3 layers over my torso and the top layer was a
Berghaus jacket! The heater was on in the car as well when I was
driving.
But it's going to be a glorious summer - I hope.
I seem to remember there is a comms centre belonging to you folk
somewhere near Banbury but I'm not sure if it's a part of Upper Heyford
or not.

| 296.4 | Summer's coming.. | DUCK::NASHD | | Sun Mar 24 1991 13:00 | 7 |
| The other place I was referring to in -.1 is RAF Croughton which is the
base of the 20th Tactical Fighter Wing. Then again there is RAF
Weston-on-the-Green also in the area.
It's actually getting warmer now incidentally....

| Dave,
I will be at the RAF Croughton Base for the 2.5 weeks. I will be
arriving there morning of May 5th. The class starts on Tuesday
the 7th. So the the way I see it, I will have both Sunday and Monday
of plus two other weekends to get around. It sounds good that it
is getting warmer.
Thanks for the info.
Tom

| Tom,
By the way, you'll need a car. Croughton is, as you would expect,
nowhere near any where.
Is it your first visit here?
Dave
PS: It's 12 Celsius today!!!
