Best observing in W Yorkshire?

Im moving down to Yorkshire from Newcastle and am hoping to take advantage
of some dark skies in the area once I have moved as my present location of
North Shields is rubbish. Where would be the best place to go to observe in
dark skies?

According to the Dark Skies map (and I'm not saying that this accurate!),
the Skipton area is far enough from the heavy light pollution of Greater
Manchester / Leeds / Bradford. If you really want to remove yourself from
civilisation, head further north into the Dales.

Hi All

I'm the Treasurer of the Bradford Astonomy Society. I thought you might
like to know that we observe in Rawdon, on a Thursday night. Indeed Skipton
way does alot of difference.

Nat's if your interested we're having an open day at Eccleshill Library (in
bradford) on the 22nd, it's an all day event. If you'd like more information
please feel free to send me an e-mail.
