The courtyard of Skipton Castle
Today we stayed in Skipton and visited the castle which is 900 years old and one of the best preserved Medieval castles in England. It is fully roofed and in very good condition. A very informative exploration sheet gave a route through the castle and feel of what it would have been like to live there in the 13th Century

This is a stunning place to live.

We explored the town, its many shops and the market. The weather was sunny and cloudy but very warm. I consulted the pharmacist at Boots about the bite on my(Angela) ankle, aquired on Friday evening, which looked like yet another horse fly injury. It is very red and swollen but he confirmed it is not infected. He referred to the flies as Clegs and said they are viscious- dont I know it! We installed Mosquito netting in the bow door and bedroom window when we returned to the boat! Andy and Lorraine - have a great holiday in Scotland.
