George, are you referring to Skipton in North Yorkshire?  Is it that close to the Lakes or is there another Skipton up in Cumbria?

Hi Shaun

The Waterfalls at Windermere are worth taking a look at.  Its within walking distance of Windermere, but its a very steep hill.  Fabulous though.

Wasdale area is my favourite part of the lakes.  Going over Wrynos Pass and Hardknott as well.

The name of the pass from Borrowdale over to Buttermere and Crummock Water is the Honister Pass and the slate mine (not quarry as I originally stated) is on top of this pass.  I believe visitors can go into the mine but there is also a shop.

I thought the same, Ruth.  Skipton is a lovely market town but a couple of hours drive from the lakes depending on the traffic. And of course .a different county. (unless there is a little village named Skipton in Cumbria that I'm unaware of)

I'm glad to hear that, Michael.  I didn't think Skipton was too close to the lakes, but I would have kicked myself in the butt if it was and we didn't check them out whilst we were around Skipton.

I think it's my all time favorite place, George.  One of these days when I win the big lottery and don't have to go to a job anymore and can be independently wealthy and live wherever I want, I'm moving there.  God's country for sure.

Shaun, that's a lovely drive over that way.  Go north from Skipton on the B roads thru the Dales.  It's heaven.

Still waiting on that green card, Ron.  Wink
