As millions of us head for the great outdoors, Brits have been warned many of us could be breaking the law without realising it.
With warmer weather finally arriving, many of us will be heading to the countryside, beach or even our own gardens to make the most of the sun and why not, we get little of it so w emight as well take advantage when it does come.
But could you be finding yourself on the wrong side of the law and be forced to pay a hefty fine as a result?
Studies have shown a correlation between warmer weather and an increase in crime rates, particularly violent crimes and burglary, but what about those seemingly innocent activities many of us could be guilty of?
Nick Ross, a legal expert at The University of Law (ULaw) looked at some of the most common springtime crimes.
Is it illegal to pick flowers?
Nothing says springtime like a vase of fresh daffodils or wildflowers in the house. However, be careful where you pick from, or you could end up led away in handcuffs – as two young girls found out in 2011 while picking flowers on a walk with their parents.
Flower picking is covered under two acts of legislation: Under s4(3) of the Theft Act 1968; and The Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981.
A person who picks mushrooms growing wild on any land, or who picks flowers, fruit or foliage from a plant growing wild on any land, does not (although not in possession of the land) steal what he picks, unless he does it for reward or for sale or other commercial purpose.
The section is designed to ensure that if you pick wildflowers, you cannot be guilty of theft unless you do so with the intention of selling them for commercial purposes. This only applies to flowers growing wild, so it is possible to steal flowers from a person’s garden or flowers that are being cultivated or grown for example in a floral display in a park.
There are also certain wild plants that are protected, and it could be an offence to pick, uproot or destroy them under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
Is it illegal to take pebbles from a beach?
Under the Coastal Protection Act 1949, the removal of any natural material such as sand and pebbles from public beaches in the UK is illegal.
Bans on seemingly harmless acts can be enforced by local councils, and can see offenders fined up to £1,000 as a penalty.
Yet while it may seem perfectly harmless, removing pebbles and other natural matter from the coast is in fact damaging to the environment.
As suggested by the name of the Act, and as stated in the introduction of the Act, taking natural material from a beach in the UK is illegal, in order to protect Britain's beaches “against erosion and encroachment by the sea”.
Pebbles and other natural matter act as a natural sea defence against coastal erosion, which many experts warn has become even more of an issue due to climate change.
Is it illegal to sunbathe naked?
While temperatures aren’t soaring just yet, it’s important to know the rules when it comes to sunbathing – especially if you plan to strip off to avoid tan lines.
It may be surprising to find out that topless sunbathing is perfectly legal for both men and women in the UK. Full public nudity is also not a crime but only if the person who strips off has no intention to cause alarm or distress. There are specific offences relating to intentional exposure.
A person who commits a lewd, obscene or disgusting act could be guilty of outraging public decency. Similarly, if a person intentionally exposes their genitals with the intention that someone will see them and be caused alarm or distress, they could be guilty of an offence under s66 Sexual Offences Act 2003. So, naturists who do not intend for people to be alarmed would not be committing an offence whereas person who intentionally exposes their genitals would.
People can also be prosecuted under The Public Order Act 1986. Section 5 of the Public Order Act states that a person is guilty of an offence if they use threatening (or abusive) words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress.
For those hoping to catch some sunshine in the garden these same rules still apply. It’s advisable to let the neighbours know this is what you’re planning or find a part of the garden shielded from view, so you can avoid causing any unnecessary shock or a call to the police.
While there isn't a specific law against having sex in public in the UK, certain actions during sexual activity in public places can lead to criminal charges, such as indecent exposure or public indecency.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Is it illegal to have sex in public ?
The UK doesn't have a law that explicitly prohibits sexual activity in public.
However, sexual activity in public could be considered a criminal offense if it falls under other laws, such as:
Indecent Exposure:
Intentionally exposing genitals with the intent to cause alarm or distress to others.
Public Indecency:
Actions considered lewd, disgusting, or obscene that outrage standards of public decency.
Public Order Act 1986:
Behavior likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress to others.
Sexual Offences Act 2003: Section 71 specifically addresses sex in a public toilet.
"Public Place" Definition:
A "public place" is broadly defined as any area open to the public, including parks, beaches, public toilets, and privately owned areas accessible to the public.
Context Matters:
The legality of sex in public depends on the specific circumstances and whether the actions violate existing laws.
It may be sexy as fuck to have sex outdoors in the summer sunshine, but always be careful and watch out for those who could be offended, as not everyone wants to see you sexy bits and not everyone is as enamoured as you are with your dick when its hard.
Being naked in public is not illegal. If you make a rude movement - a sexual pose or anything that could be considered offensive, then that is illegal, but if you were just standing dead still - or sunbathing, or even doing your weekly shop in Aldi - and nothing else, then there is nothing offensive. Mind you, I wouldn't try it as that would really be foolishly dumb.
Those who CHOOSE to take offense, can always look away - simple as that - but many CHOOSE to stay and BE offended because it garners them attention and we all know about fucked up attention seekers.

I was awoken from a hot and sweaty sleep on the beach by this irate women screaming her tits off because I had an erection. I repeat, I had been asleep and she was going off on one. When I came to my sences and realised what she was ranting about - with loads of others on the beach staring, I had to tell her to fuck off and stop invading my space and stop staring at me if she found it so offensive. She just kept standing there staring and ranting.
She eventually moved off and a while later, I walked up the beach, which was fairly busy with naked people, and found her sunbathing under a parasole so I stood and stared at her, just silently stood there staring, and DEAR GOD she didn't like that and started ranting like some lunatic again, I stated that ' staring at naked people on the beach is rude - right ??? Now see how you like a taste of your own medicne.'
She shut her gob and mumbled something under her breath and as I walked away I said. ' Now learn some fucking beach manners and mind your own fucking business and stop being such an attention seekeing cunt.'
The rest of the afteroon was peaceful after that.
Walking by the river through some local woods with my dog this guy walked towards me, and by his clothes I'd say he was a fisherman - with his dick and balls hanging out of his trousers as he walked. I could hardly believe my eyes and as he came close I said ' Impressive mate - really impressive.' assuming he'd tell me to fuck off...
He stopped, smiled and chuckled ' If you think so, you should see it when its angry, when its hard.'
I replied ' I'd love to see it angry...'
He grinned and took and handful of his cock and started playing with it, and indicated for me to get mine out and do the same, which - well - I already had a hard on so plopped it out and his eyes lit up.
'Well you've got a biggun there yourself mate.'
Checking constantly to see if anyone else was around, and that my dog was okay, I asked ' Can I suck you.'
'Knock yourself out mate.' he replied, so down I went and got a great mouthful of his now hard big uncut dick and it was sensational, with that clean taste of sweat and I slurped and slurped.
I felt a hand on the back of my head as he leaned backwards and thrust his dick deep into my throat and shot his load, real quick, as I gagged and swallowed not wanting to miss a bit.
I meanwhile was wanking furiously and came all over his boots.
Standing up and to break the ice I asked ' Have you caught much today.' - meaning fish, and he grinned and said ' Well I cast my line out- put something tasty and meaty on the line, and reeled you in alright.'
We shared a laugh and chatted for a while - told me he loved to fish to get some peace and quiet away from the wife and kids, and eventually because my dog was making a fuss about being stuck there while she wanted to walk and run, I bade my farewell and left him to his fishing.
I have been back to that area a 100 times since and never met him or had such a sexy occurance on a hot sunny day by the river in the wood again.

Had a great 3some on your local naturist beach John, last summer. Is it Studland ? These identical twins, both around 25 and stunning John. I was in seond Heaven - and twins, both gay, and both sharing the same sex partners. It was somewhat confusing remembering which was which but we certainly had fun in the sun that day. Think I mentioned it to you after I got home from the beach. Happy memories of my week at Hamilton Hall.

My partner is my ' Daddy' and he is a big burly hairy hung bearded man of 6 foot and he loves taking me to naturist beaches, sex clubs and even naturist resorts and where possible, loves publically fucking me long and hard while others watch. He loves an audiance. Can't say I blame him as he is a lovely sexy man and I love the fact he really gets off fucking me - just me - for others to see and envy. Pete.

Saw these two lads on a naturist beach some time ago. Two twinks, probably around 21 years of age each and with their laying naked and cuddling, giggling together as I approached. They were staring up at my naked body and one said ' Hi'
'Hi boys,' I replied ' You boys looking for a hung top to fill your every hole .'
They giggled like school girls and said ' Oh yes please Sir, love you to fuck us.' So taking turns to ride my tool, in the afternoon sunshine, they took me deep inside pounding away and as an old troper, I can fuck for England before I want to cum, and while the two boys were jacking as I fucked them, after a nice long time I took my dick out, got them kneeling before me, and said ' Now I'm going to cum and I expect you boys to slurp it all up and not waste a drop.'
And so they did. beautifully , not a drop hit the sand and not a drop was wasted, licking and swallowing it all up as I shot in the air all over them. They just giggled some more and to be honest, it was a great sunshine fuck but it did make me feel old, as they were so full of life and youth and while I LOVE being the hung older man, there are times when I envy the youthfulness and the fantasy of that afternoon for them - as much as it was for me as well.
'You boys together' - I asked
Yup, We came down from London yesterday for the weekend and you were just what we were talking about we wanted, a hung older man to fuck us both and there you were.'
I laughed and said ' Yup, and there I was...'
I ended up going back to their AirB&B for the night where the three of us continued with the games and the fucking and wasted (?) the weekend just with my dick filling every hole they offered.
That was one hell of a weekend.
Neil.
