Aaaah beautiful Skipton. In the Caliphate of North Yorkshire.
Once the Realm of Ayatollah Gorgeous George Galloway, peace be upon him.
Don't know Skipton, but go east a few km and you have the exotic delights of Harrogate.
In between is RAF Menwith Hill. While driving past, I'd avoid using certain key words that
Echelon is programmed to pick up on, in phone calls. Isis. Virgins. Labour Party. Diane Abbott. Vest.
etc etc Its especially pretty at night. Not so much, if you're on the inside looking out.
To avoid this see 'certain key words' as listed above. Happy holidays!
Seriously. You're literally tripping over beautiful drives, scenery and villages.
But Harrogate is worth a few hours. Indulge your inner tourist.
