Love the walk to Lockley Pylon, it is not hard or far but the views early in the morning with the sun hitting the opposite cliffs is superb.

I did a nude walk to Lockley Pylon last year, on a crisp, sunny winter day. It was unreal!
This walk is still one I pull out when showing less fit overseas visitors the "real" Australia.

Yeah I could happily do that walk nude at dusk. Or dawn. Or at night :)

Actually, it would be quite a good nude walk at those time. With a full moon in particular (although pretty chilly I'm guessing).

I do find your fear of sunshine quite amusing. If I didn't know better I'd think you were a vampire!

My last return from Lockley was half at night, but that night there was not quite enough moonlight to do it sans torches, just could not get enough light to have good spatial awareness to spot the rougher stuff on the track.

On a full moon night it would be a stunning walk without extra lighting. Not sure I'd be doing that nekid though, I'll leave that you you guys LOL.

Haha too many prickly things.
But yes agree cliff edge walks are awesome
I haven't done this particular one (yet), looks good
