2. BATH - AVON
A: Bath, M4 Junction - "Off the M4 at the junction for Bath there is a rest area with toilets etc and woods to the rear. I believe this is widely used for straight and queer dogging sessions ie voyeurism and exhibitionists."
B:
Claverton - "The nearest large city is Bath in SW England and the village
is called Claverton, about five miles from Bath on the A36. The River Avon
runs past the village and splits in two for a few hundred yards before rejoining
itself downstream. This has formed a reasonably sized "island" in
the middle of the river which is accessible via a footbridge at the end of
a winding lane. There is also a weir before the river splits up. At this point
the river is very wide and shallow, with several stone jetties projecting
from the bank. During the summer, when the river is low, it is possible to
walk from one bank to the other across the top of the weir. Sounds like a
good place to go swimming, doesn't it? Lots of other people think so too,
and so do people interested in sunbathing or having picnics. Naturally, there
are no changing rooms in such a secluded spot, so people who wish to swim
have to arrive wearing their costumes or struggle underneath a find their
own private spots. Consequently, more clothes than usual come off, and there
are usually a few topless sunbathers to be seen. Complete nudity is less common,
but I have seen several examples. Obviously it's best to go on a scorching
hot day. About 6.00pm is best for the best crowds (approx fifty to a hundred
people), but during the daytime, when it is less crowded, you will see "different"
types of people, some less bashful than others..."
