Wicker screens go up at Thorney Lakes camping site
Wicker screens have gone up on parts of the award-winning Thorney Lakes camping site near Langport this week as hundreds of enthusiasts from across the UK and overseas turn up for 'Nudefest'. The Somerset venue is hosting the annual event for the first time.
There's even an official website for the festival which lists several events there over the coming days, there's already been a political debate entitled 'Question Time in the buff" plus a visit to Burrow Hill Cider.
We are still trying to get hold of pictures of Julian Temperley in his farm shop serving the nudists wearing nothing but an apron. It's reported several Stembridge residents called the police when Mr Temperley later wandered into the road to put out his recycling.
Other items on the nudists' agenda include fishing on the lakes themselves, as demonstrated above by local thatcher Dom Dunbar at last year's event in Sidmouth. Let's hope they use the the right bait and the carp there don't lunge at anything they shouldn't.
Avon and Somerset Police say the airspace has been restricted over Thorney Lakes until the end of Nudefest and that "cheap camera drones from Maplin" will be shot down.
"What about Joby Hoare on his power motor?" we asked, but by then the cleaner at Somerton Police Station had put the phone down.
- and the RSPB says it can't guarantee that herons flying over the site in the coming days won't make "any mistakes" while out fishing.
Some of Carry On Langport's more mischievous readers have suggested to the editor that a handful of rather more "deviant" events are also scheduled...one of which may or may not include men on leads in nappies pretending to be puppies.
"Don't be ridiculous" said a Langport Freemason, "that all goes on at our place."

Meanwhle, Richard England - who runs the Thorney Lakes campsite - has told Carry On Langport he is delighted the nudists have chosen his venue to stage this year's event but he then went on to issue this urgent health and safety warning...
