Kenfig Burrows aka Sker Beach

End of week midday visit to the wounderful kenfig nature reserve and beach, I parked up near the pub/church this time, as ive read a few reviews that say this aa really quite route. This is the Kenvig castle end, that I couldn't find the entry previously, as I appeared to have travelled to far and missed this entry. it is a little further to walk (1.5 to 2 mile) than the nature reserve entrance, but you do miss all the textiles, dog walkers and the like.
Once on this path with my draw sting bag, trainers and shorts, I also had a towel, suncream with me today and a baseball hat as it was going to be one of the hottest days so far this summer.
Now on a very quiet stretch of pathway that lead all the way though the undergrowth and into the dunes.
I stripped off completely about 20mins along the path, put my shorts and t-shirt into my swim bag, I travelled the rest of the way non-textile, I didn't see anyone until I hit the River inlet at the beach, (steel works end)
The tide was in so I crossed over the river at this point and headed across to the ship wreck.
I found a good sunbathing spot on the beach(not in the dunes), i had seen non-textile sunbathing on the beach last time and wanted to try it.
THis was going to be a short visit today. But i was determined to enjoy every minute, I "left my clothes" towel swim bag the lot on the beach and went into the sea still remaining non-textile was my plan.
There were one our 2 non-textile in the dunes and some in the water, all men.
At that point 2 young textle women backpackers passed me while I was uncovered, (i didn't cover up) they said a cherry hello and walked up to the river end, looking for thier own spot no doubt.
Once i had my dip in the warm sea I decided to go for walk in the sea and surf, I would follow the sea has it came in all the way to rocks on the Porthcawl end (1.5mile).
I remained non-textile the whole time, there were a few textiles about, once they saw me most of them left the sea shore and went back to their spot in the beach and shingle.
I stayed a little out of sight when i reached the rocks, by making my way in between the large beach rocks and found a small sunbathing area, a great place to remain non-textile and just out of sight of the textiles on the beach.
I took a few dips in the sea non-textile, some textile were already in the water, but paid little attention to me.
On the return journey to the ship wreck I walked up the shingle/sand side of the beach, even though I had no clothes with me I found a large washed up towel, so as not to offened i drapped the towel around my neck and it hang down over my member, for when I got closure to the textile.
I only had time to do this trip once today, but i wanted to chat to a few non-textile male on arriving near the ship wreck end, which I did, some lovely people.
A pleasant afternoon up to that point, on recovering clothes from my beach stash and other belongings, I had some how lost my car key.
After looking and failing, up and down the beach, I called up to one of the men I had seen earlier for some help, both of us now looking for my car key.
I found it on the 3rd attempt of looking, I thanked this guy what a really sport for helping.
By now the afternoon had moved into early evening, so I headed across the dunes and undergrowth, I did this non-textile, (2miles) I only put on some clothes once a could see the church and the road.
A great time today, made a real good male friend on the beach, we said we will look to met up the next time we're both at this beach.

A mid week trip to this amazing kenvig nature reserve and beach. A hot day 24 degrees forecast for when I arrived, it was warm from early in the day.
Parked up, got my swim bag shorts and trainers on, headed across the undergrowth into the dunes (Porthcawl end).
Starting to know the route to take with less textiles, walked right up to the dunes just above the shingle.
Found a good spot to settle, on the beach front. Left my swim bag (extra clothes) and lunch tucked behind a log, I walked across the shingle in shorts and trainer.
Very few textiles around and the tide was in so I strip off "left my clothes behind" and walked up to the sea shore non-textile.
It felt amazing to enter the sea, it was a little cold with plenty of waves.
I walked along the sea and surf, only seen one textile couple sunbathing near the shingle and a few dog walkers in the distance.
I walked the sea shore all the way from the Porthcawl end up to the ship wreck 3/4 mile non-textile.
That's when I started to see non-textile in the dunes and on the beach, I was pleased to see and chat with a few non-textile.
On my way back to where I had stashed my clothes I meet a couple who had stopped and asked me where the best place to sunbathe natural we exchanged pleasantries, all of us non-textile.
I enjoyed this feeling of freedom so much that the next dip in the sea non-textile, I did the same walk but this time staying near the shingle.
I was stopped by another couple who were non-textile sunbathing on the beach, who said this was their first time.
On my 3rd walk i chated to a few men who had been visiting this beautiful beach over the years, all of us non-textile.
It was an amazing experience, one I will repeat. I've become very confident with my natural form, iam so please ive taken the opportunity to do this, I would recommend to anyone who's nervous about using this beach non-textile,to give it a try.
Not one person I meet today had been unpleasant, so just try it.
I will return and spend a bit more time at the ship wreck end as that's where I felt most comfortable, that's down to the lovely people I met today.

A sunny monday afternoon and with just a little wind, my 3rd visit to this nature reserve and beach, I had planned to enter from the remains of kenvig castle end, as ive read a few visitors had used this route, but it was very overgrown and impassable.
So I headed for the nature reserve entrance, i parked up and with my small drawstring swim bag (no towel). I've taken too much in my last 2 visits so kept it to the bare minimum(pardon the pun).
I walked though the undergrowth and into though into the dunes in just my shorts and trainers.
I had read recently that the police had arrested a 50+yr old male in the nature reserve for indecent exposure so I didn't want to be involved in any police matter, so shorts and trainers for me today.
Feeling very impowerd from my first 2 visits, once I reached the beach and crossed the shingle, I removed my shorts and trainers and popped them into my swim bag.
Now non-textile on the beach,
The tide was way out, so I just walked out across the sand there were a few textiles about fishing and 2 or 3 people walking there dogs, but the large parts of the beach were empty.
Once at the sea shore, I left my swim bag about 3mts out from the sea and went in, it felt amazing cold but amazing.
I return and collected my bag and walked non-textile all along the surf for about just over a 1/4 mile before walking back to the high water line.
I wanted to walk along the high water line/shingle with out my bag, so I "left my clothes/bag" high in the shingle behind a large log.
I meet a textile guy jogging who said hello and asked if this is a nudist beach, I said yes. He seamed OK with that.
When I returned to the high water line (left trainers) I walked right from the Porthcawl end up to the ship wreck and back non-textile, around a 1 mile. This was what I was hoping I could do, I was a little nervous.
I met another textiles guy walking his dogs. we had a chat about if the sea was cold, I said it was OK. He seamed a little amused by me being non-textile but he didn't seam to mind.
I didn't cover up as I had nothing to cover myself with so had to be non-textile.
Both my encounters today were pleasant. I returned to my clothes stash in the shingle, dressed and made my way back to the nature reserve car park.
A great day, I did see 2 other non-textile while on the beach. Both there were some distance away, so I didn't get to meet them.

Visit for the first time today, the weather was mixed on arrival but the sun did show signs of shining.
I did what most people due parked in the nature car park. It had a QR code £4 for the day, which if you plan to have a full day there it's good value.
Got my backpack with my food and drink supplys plus towel and blanket.
Others say It's just over a mile, but for me it didn't seam that far. Ive not been nude on a Welsh beach so a little nervous, but I've been encourage to try after reading other non-textiles experiences.
As I approached the dunes I started to scout out my chosen spot, I found lots of small hollows but then spotted the one for me.
Now with my blanket set out and my towel as a screen over a log, I was set.
I became more confident while taking in the sunshine, so removed all my clothes and stayed in that spot for about an hour, before venturing over the last dune between me and the sea.
It was early in the day so the tide was way out but on its way in, as it was my first Wales Nude/Naturists beach I decided to put on some clothes to get to the waters edge.
I decided to head for the rock out crops which are on the Porthcawl side and not head for the far end near the River, Port Talbot end.
There were small groups of textiles around but no other non-textile, left my clothes including my fleece behind a rock and went along the water edge.
After slowly moving into water as it was cold, I had done it. I felt amazing.
I retraced my steps to get my long fleece (like a dry robe).
I did go back into the water once I removed my fleece, I was only able to stay a little while in the water as it was really cold.
I return to the rock, dressed and went back to my sun bathing spot in the dunes.
I spent most of the day there non-textile sun bathing with a few more dips in the sea. Each time building up my confidence to leave my clothes behind, I did leave all my clothes in the dunes eventually and make my way to the sea shore but only after the tide came right in and the beach was empty of textiles.
When i returned to the dunes to carry out my sun bathing session, a number of textiles walked past me while I was non- textiles I did cover for most of them and left uncovered on only a few. As I didn't want to offend anyone, most of textiles paid little attention to me, which is fine by me.
I will definitely do this again possible in the same spot as it was just out of sight of most people view, it would have been nice but not essential to see other non-textile.
