A NATIONWIDE walk in the nude has come to another abrupt halt for naked rights campaigner Steve Gough.

Yesterday afternoon the 44- year-old Eastleigh father of two was being held at Newquay police station. A police spokesman said he had been arrested earlier in the day and was being held in custody on an allegation of outraging public decency.

Since he began his walk on Monday, from Land's End to John O'Groats, Steve has been arrested at St Ives for an alleged breach of the peace and bailed to appear before Truro magistrates.

He had been spreading his message that the freedom to go naked in public is a basic human right.
