Morning

This Saturday I’ll be heading over to Skipton, the historic market town known as the “Gateway to the Dales”, famous for its well-preserved medieval castle and bustling market.

I’ll be spending part of the day at the b**r festival before exploring a variety of pubs and micropubs around the town.

If I’m planning to pop in and visit you, I’d really appreciate a share of this post — and if you see me out and about, feel free to come and say hello!
