and on that land you are totally unaffected as the Nt made clear that they were not talking about applying this to their open countryside.

Also this is a very old thread , and there hasnt been the massive issue that people feared or indeed the backlash against the Trust.

If anyone does need clarification I'd suggest they right to the HQ at Heelis , Swindon and get the straight info rather than the speculation

(incidentally many people on here will know that I (now) work for the Trust, but i'd make clear that everything I say on wab is my purely own opinion , not that of my employer, and also that I wasnt working for the Trust when this topic originally came up, so the comments further up the thread were also purely personal opinion)

I'm also not going to get drawn into an argument about the rights and wrongs of the policy or indeed make any further comment on this thread)

oh yeah and incidentally if you do want to avoid NT land for photographic purposes in the purbeck area (not that you need to) there is also Arne and Arne Grange (rspb), Wareham Forest (FC), Holton and Holt heaths (NE) and various downland sites owned by DWT
