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

Thats a particularly interesting one.

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.

Yes it is. It is breaking the rules. It is trespass.

So OK to break some rules but not others? ;)
