A sunny cruise to Skipton, giving us a full day to shop and explore. We had a trip to the castle whilst mum and dad went to the church, meeting up later for lunch at Bizzie Lizzie’s, the famous fish and chip restaurant. It was nice to wander around the market, but it was very busy, especially with it being a Saturday. We had a later cruise to moor in the countryside, stopping off to have a look at the Polish Airmen Memorial and then finding moorings at Kildwick.
