What's the symbol?
Much amusement is currently happening in NATO circles because we've just been warned that the National Trust are having issues with nudists near our newly mapped Druridge Links (blatantly plugged by me elsewhere). The mapper wants to know the correct symbol for a nudist - we've some ideas but I can't resist asking for the opinion here!
Possibly the slowest Orienteer in the NE but maybe above average at 114kg

Re: What's the symbol?
Aren't all humans, clothed or not, "man made objects" ?!? But mobile, so no need to map?!?
Not orienteering related, as even punt-O events don't go this far upstream,
but we regularly kayak up River Cam towards Grantchester Meadows, past a riverbank swimming club, which often has entertainment value of a nudist nature. Never offensive, although I was somewhat distrurbed to see a man wearing nothing but boots, using an electric hedge trimmer. I was also amazed to see the trees decorated with union jack bunting a week before the Royal Wedding in early May, so asked a bikini-clad woman on the riverbank - she said it was "exuberance".

Re: What's the symbol?
I thought this was "banter" what's up with you all?
We had all sorts of suggestions involving thickets , knolls, cairns and spurs (loads of other options I'm sure) and all we get here is "mobile" and "man-made" which are factually correct
BANTER not main board!!!

Naked electric hedge trimming is banter!

Only Just!
MHarky must be busy training or something as I can't see him missing an opportunity like this - and there are some other posters (one of whom I owe a pint to for last night in the pub after an event) who I really expected to have responded to such an opening!

Re: What's the symbol?
Surely the main issue here is technical difficulty.
As a point feature a control on a nudist certainly couldnt be TD1 or 2, but if they were sunbathing within a short distance of a line feature such as a path then maybe they could be TD3, providing there was a decent attack point?
Of course if you were lucky enough to catch a group of them doing the conga, then thats technically a line feature and could be incorporated into TD1/2. Any controllers out there willing to stake their reputation on it?

Re: What's the symbol?
There's a symbol for bare rock, so as Bare Jock is only one letter different, there ought to be a symbol for that - maybe a pink screen?

Re: What's the symbol?
Two related issues occur to me:
(1) Would there be a ruling from BOF about whether Juniors are permitted to run a course involving the risk of nudity? Or would it be classified as Parental Guidance (PG).
(2) What would be the ruling on full leg cover vs shorts? Could a third option be introduced?

Re PG aspect: At a recent Safety Workshop, a Planner mentioned that his wife had found a stash of pornographic magazines when checking control sites for an urban race. Out of concern for juniors' morals and environment, they were removed and placed in recycling bin.

Came across a similar stash on the CUOC Bush Heath map - sadly, though in a pit, it was not the none I was looking for.
