One Strange Hiker?

Stephen Gough
Stephen Gough is a hiker, rambler, travelin man who wanders all over the UK.  But the 55 year old does so in the nude.  Since 2003 he has been arrested and convicted dozens of times for being naked in public,  with his sentences increased each time.  Between May 2006 and October 2012 he enjoyed a total of seven days' liberty and spent most of his detention in segregation because he refused to wear clothes.  Recently he was rearrested on leaving prison.  He was wearing only boots and earned an additional 2 years.  His legal appeal that the law denies his basic human rights to nude were rejected.
