When I ask Twitter for pub suggestions, as I did for Skipton, they tend to come in 3 forms, all equally valid; 1.Visit ALL the pubs. They’re all great. 2. The Good Beer Guide pubs are the best, that’s why we chose them. 3. Here’s some new micropubs we discovered yesterday. They won’t be open,… Continue reading J. STANFORTH PORK PIES, SKIPTON

SKIPTON SOUND BAR
Having spent £18.60 on my return ticket to Skipton (not having booked advance tickets 3 years ago like BRAPA and Tom Irvin would) I wanted some value from my fare. So I walked from the Slater’s Arms into Skipton via the canal, passing 327 pretend walkers who were actually only going as far as the… Continue reading SKIPTON SOUND BAR

I almost skipped Skipton completely due to a phenomenon known as “slow uploading of photos”. That would never do. You’d have missed out on my Mood Photo. Gallagher’s Ale House looks… Continue reading SKIPPING SKIPTON
SUNNY SKIPTON
I caught Skipton at it’s best on Sunday, with the freak sunshine bringing tourists from as far away as Keighley and Colne. It’s a typically handsome North Yorkshire market town, but it’s own visitor attractions (castle, canal, chips) and proximity to the Dales enable it to punch well above it’s weight. I’d compare it to… Continue reading SUNNY SKIPTON
