The North East Skinny Dip saw around 400 people of all ages whip off their clothes and plunge into the chilly waters of the North Sea as the sun rose. Some of the nude crowd held hands as they ran into the sea off the coast of Druridge Bay in Northumberland. They fully embraced the liberating experience by splashing and  paddling in the cold water. The mass dip, which began back in 2011, raises money for MIND – a charity which provides advice and support to anyone experiencing mental health problems.
