Everybody should have a hobby. Steve Gough decided to walk the length of Britain naked, starting at Land's End in the southwest and bound for John o'Groats, Scotland, 847 miles to the north. Unfortunately he was arrested in St. Ives and charged with breaching the peace. Fortunately the charges were dropped, and so were his drawers as he continued his trek. Three days later another interruption occurred when he was arrested in Newquay for indecent behavior. That charge was dropped for lack of evidence, and his pants once again went into his backpack. At last report he was in the Inverness jail, awaiting an October 3 trial on a breach of peace charge. We hear crowds are already forming in John o'Groats, where, you might imagine, it can get extremely chilly in October.
