STEP 4. The temperature should not be more than

80-90° C (100° at the most). Adjust the humidity by throwing water on the heater.
STEP 5. When you've warmed up yourself, go to cool off for a while.

STEP 6.
Return in the heat, throw some water.
Now is the time to use the vihta.
STEP 7.
Heat and steam competitions are unhealthy and do not belong to the sauna.

STEP 8. Return to the heat according to your liking.
Spend as much time in the heat as you feel comfortable. A fast transition from hot to cold surroundings is not recommended.Those worried for their health should consult a doctor.
STEP 9. Warm up before washing yourself.
After washing one can still return to warm up a bit.
STEP 10. Finish by rinsing yourself clean.
Rest a while and enjoy a refreshing drink. Put on your clothes only after the sweating has completely stopped.
STEP 11.
Leave the sauna in a tidy condition.

STEP 12. Avoid alcohol and heavy meals before the sauna.
After the sauna, light snacks and refreshing drinks in good company are the way to go.

VIGLA NATURA LTD: EXCLUSIVE NATURIST HOLIDAYS



Thank you for signing up to receive brochures and updates from Vigla Natura Ltd about Vassaliki Naturist Club in Kefalonia, Greece. We are very proud of our resort in Kefalonia that has now completed three successful summers. In 2009 we had a record number of return guests which spoke for 30% of our total visitors.

Our 12 large modern self-catering rooms in the rural village location with splendid mountain views is a little piece of real Greece. You will find yourself unable to do anything but relax and shed your emotional and physical apparel within moments of lounging in the stunning surroundings of our glistening pool or enjoying that first cold beer /G&T at the pool bar.

You can see from our new expanded brochure enclosed that you can combine a visit to Vassaliki with one of our naturist sailing experiences. You can privately hire a gorgeous Beneteau yacht for a week with friends or on your own.

Alternatively, why not join our Group Sailing week from the 22nd to 29th June. This is an opportunity for you to book a cabin onboard one of the two spacious catamaran yachts to sail the Ionian Islands in the capable hands of our qualified skippers. Both trips are suitable for experienced or beginner sailors!

In January 2011, we will launch a brand new product: Vasnat South Africa! Custom built in the majestic Cape Dutch style of the Cape Winelands, this new complex will boast top quality hotel rooms, swimming pool and Jacuzzi. This resort will offer luxury, style and the high standard of service guests expect from Vigla Natura. With so much to see and on the Cape Town area of South Africa and beyond, we believe this will be the perfect winter sun destination for many holidays to come.

So do keep an eye om our website www.viglanatura.com where you will find details on all of our products. We will also keep you up to date via our email newsletters so please register your email address with us if you haven't done so already.

We wish you a happy healthy 2010 and hope to see you topping up that all over tan in Kefalonia this summer or South Africa next winter!

Kind Regards
Mark and Samantha Taylor

CAMP FULL MONTE - A SHORT STORY


We moved to Montenegro in May 2006 after visiting a friend of a friend in 2005 and falling in love with the place & the people. We have been enjoying naturist holidays for years. Our dream was to set up our own resort where people could enjoy a relaxing holiday, with or without clothes.

When we finally found the right piece of land – private, beautiful, good road access – and started to develop it, we discovered there was the possibility of a major highway carving its way through the location one day!
Although the exact route of the highway is not confirmed and building will take many years, if it happens at all, we decided to scale down our ideas & open a campsite.

The site is not connected to mains power, water or sewerage.
So we had to start thinking ‘off-grid’. Our ‘eco-awakening’ began as we realised that alternatives to living without mains utilities were ecologically sound. We did loads of research and reading, talking to people all over the world and visited eco projects. We designed the facilities ourselves because there was no local expertise for overcoming our particular challenges.

The campsite opened this summer & despite very little marketing (we were unsure whether the site would be sufficiently ‘ready’) we had guests from all over the world.
People travelled to us from the UK, Portugal, Hungary & the USA.

Our facilities include: compost toilets; natural spring-water fed showers; solar-heated hot water.
The shared kitchen has everything our guests need to prepare & cook meals, although most of our campers opted for our ‘Dish of the Day’ and we would all enjoy an evening meal together. We encourage people to make themselves at home: browse the books in our library; enjoy a game from our extensive collection; potter in the garden or relax in the hammock. We grow our own vegetables & herbs in our organic garden. The landscaping & development of the grounds is an ongoing project but we have planted some fruit trees and hope to increase our yield of organic produce every year.

In 2010 we will have an outside eating area to accommodate larger groups and we’ll develop the BBQ & outdoor cooking area further.
We don’t “pack them in and pile them high” at Camp Full Monte so the experience is of less people and more peace. It’s one of the aspects we value and our guests do too. We never have more than 10-15 tents on the main campsite although there is additional non-naturist camping space in the oak woodland area adjacent to the main site.

We are currently developing our website to promote our eco centre & working holidays, in addition to clothing-optional camping.

NUDISTSTOP.COM ANNOUNCES GOUGH NUDE!

Release date: January 20, 2010
Los Angeles, California, USA


NudistStop.com Announces GOUGH NUDE!


The International Campaign to Free The Naked Rambler


NudistStop.com is proud to announce our international online campaign GOUGH NUDE! to urge Scottish authorities to grant Stephen Gough, aka "the Naked Rambler" his freedom and to stop harrassing him with meaningless prosecutions.

Stephen Gough, also known as The Naked Rambler, has been walking across Scotland and parts of the UK, in the nude for the better part of the last 7 years - the better part, that is, when he is not in jail. Scottish authorities have taken to sentencing him to prison for the offense of 'breaching the peace' which they have conveniently labelled his public act of civil disobedience. Last month, Gough, a former Royal Marine, was taken back into custody seconds after being released from the Perth Prison on December 17th for his refusal to get dressed. Sheriff Lindsay Foulis indicated that Gough would be arrested "again and again and again" if he failed to bend to the will of the law - which could result in Gough being perpetually imprisoned for a lifetime.

To date, the cost of prosecuting and imprisoning the Naked Rambler has exceeded £200,000 (approximately $325,000). Gough, who has compared himself to black civil rights activist Rosa Parks said: "Essentially this is about individual freedom and people's tolerance to other people being different. I understand a lot of people will disagree and have strong feelings about it." With regard to the possibility of extended periods of incarceration, Gough added: "People who have brought great change often have to go to prison first. People often have to go to prison for many years before other's see the light."

A representative of NudistStop.com made the following statement in support of the campaign. "Several milliion people enjoy the benefits of nude recreation and a nudist lifestyle across the world and every one of them is in peril of losing the freedom to do so at the hands of members of society who grievously over-react to simple, non-sexual, social nudity. The worst manifestation of this are laws that senselessly restrict one's ability to enjoy a natural and nude state without harassment. The idea of someone facing lifetime imprisonment for simply appearing nude in public strikes us as cruel and unusual in the extreme. Mr. Gough is taking a principled and personal stand to do something about that. In our opinion, anyone who values such freedom should be ready to stand right beside him. We believe this campaign offers just such an opportunity and we are confident it will attract many supporters to Mr. Gough's side."

NudistStop's campaign offers supporters the opportunity to sign a petition that reads: "We the undersigned hereby urge all relevant officials in Scotland to release Stephen Gough from custody, to end his perpetual harrassment by law enforcement agencies and the courts and to seriously reconsider their draconian measures for addressing simple, non-sexual public nudity."
