MORE than a thousand swimmers shed their clothes to venture into the bracing waters of the North Sea along the coast of Northumberland, celebrating the 11th annual North East Skinny Dip in honor of the Autumn Equinox.
Participants of all ages, in their natural state, reveled on Druridge Bay’s shoreline on a Sunday morning, fully embracing the liberating experience of going au naturel.
Swimmers exhibited a variety of attire choices, from whimsical wigs to Hawaiian garlands, and even some opting for the warmth of a wooly hat, as they braved the frigid waters at the break of dawn.
As the waves gently washed ashore, participants dashed exuberantly toward the sea, hand in hand, skipping with sheer delight.
This marked the 11th consecutive gathering of skinny dippers, an event that has collectively raised over £100,000 for the mental health charity Mind since its inception in 2012.
