How do you feel about people who've walked around the edge of the corn to get closer to the Devil's Arrows?

Or, indeed, people trespassing in order to take photos of the recent damage at Priddy?

Thats a particularly interesting one.

It seems to me that Nigel and Rhiannon are effectively saying that it's only OK to break rules that they approve of breaking. I don't mean to be contentious with that comment, but that's honestly what it seems to come down to. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm struggling to understand the logic of your position, N&R.

Exactly, which is why I said of course I have broken rules.

Of course, not asking the man who had wrecked the place if I could take photos of the wreckage isn't exactly like breaking rules set up by Guardians is it?

Incidentally, I got called a "Heritage Arse" on the Portal by a certain ex-photographer of this parish utterly beside himself to have been beaten to the punch on that! O how I cried.
