Personally I think it's fine to think of anywhere north of Hull as being part of Greater Yorkshire.
Seriously I pretty much agree with all your statements and stance on this issue Dave. The National Trust clearly needs to rethink this idea. At the very least to clarify things if, as Eeyore thinks, it's a bit of a storm in a teacup. And if the intention implied is real then they have to realise that they shouldn't be allowed to limit the ability of photographers to exercise their art and industry in some of the most iconic of landscapes. I also believe that in-spite of their legal ownership these landscapes do really belong to all of us and they need to recognise that.
Now an interesting question - my house is owned by the National Trust as are a lot of the farms here in the Dales, as no photography is allowed inside Nation Trust properties am I allowed to take a photograph inside my own home?
