Adlington nude cyclist arrives home after 1,000 mile charity bike ride

However, the journey wasn’t all plain sailing after Colin Unsworth and Sadie Tann were knocked off their tandem bike by an offended driver along the way.

Colin, from Adlington, and Sadie cycled 1,000 miles from John O'Groats to Lands End and spent more than a month in the saddle.

The duo managed to raise nearly £4,000, including gift aid, for Rewilding Britain and Mind charities in the process.

The free-spirited pair were nude for around 70 per cent of the journey, only dressing for cold weather days or when asked to by police.

Colin said: “We came up with a bonkers idea of riding along the longest possible route in the UK and we wanted to do it starkers in order to get some more money for charities.”

Colin said the majority of people were positive about the experience but they also faced adversity and claimed to have been “deliberately knocked off their bike” in Scotland.

Colin, 52, said: “Overall the response was fantastic and most people were in fits of laughter, giving us a round of applause or a thumbs up.

“I think most people see the fun element and that we are doing it for charity.

“We did have a few friends and family tell us to be a bit more careful in Scotland and someone took exception to us so much that they drove into us.”

Colin captured the moment on a Facebook Live video and it was later investigated by police.

He said: “We were actually in the middle of doing a Facebook Live video when it happened – it’s all a bit bonkers.

“They were screaming and hollering at us calling us 'prostitutes'.

“I knew there would be people who didn’t agree with what we were doing but I didn’t expect that kind of reaction.”

Slightly shaken but undeterred, the duo continued their challenge which took a toll on their bodies.

“Physically, it was tough and neither of us are long distance cyclists,” said Colin.

“This challenge involved cycling 50 miles a day on a tandem bike that was "quite cheap and heavy".

“The Pennines were hard but Devon and Cornwall were even harder as there are so many steep hills.

“It’s such a relief to have completed it and not to let any sponsors down.”

Colin hopes that alongside raising money for charity, the challenge has taught people more about naturism and body positivity.

He said: “I think the whole body positivity aspect is a big deal in society as body shame affects many people negatively.

“We are all just human and shouldn’t feel ashamed of our naked bodies.”
