Yes, I read about this- wonder how they will decide who gets them- is it first to sign up on Hugh's Landshare site?

I wonder how it will work?  Will plot holders need to be members of the Nattional Trust?  The other thing I wonder about is that many of the big NT properties are out in the countryside.  Will people want to travel longer distances to them, or are most looking for more local plots?  I guess we will have to wait and see.

I would think it is going to be a 100% success.

Did you go to the link which shows the piccies people have sent in of their plots - piccie no1 is a stunner.
