I've just spent two weeks in a lovely village called West Burton. The only place I could get 3G to check on emails was literally at the top of the village green so I didn't check them that often!
I once camped at Richmond and the river flooded and our campsite turned to mud, but being young, and it being the first ever holiday on my bike (and without my parents) ... me & my mate still had a great time :)
@ Shirley - I was at Richmond a few weeks ago, before travelling on to Durham for the night. Luckily the weather was glorious so no flooding occured. A pub at the side of the river would have been nice though :-)
The perfect excuse for avoiding all human contact. Sounds like sheer bliss to me. And you can even pretend that you didn't realise there'd be no signal so everyone thinks you were gutted and would have spent your holiday in constant contact had you been able.
@Mrme89 Did you enjoy your visit to Durham. It's one of the countries best kept secrets say nowt otherwise loads of southerners will come. I love been a Durham lad.
Really enjoyed it! The weather was brilliant, and it was good sat outside with a pint listening to the brass band play. We are already planning another trip, possibly the bank holiday weekend.

Unless you break a leg and need rescuing ...
Why would you want to do anything but relax, soak up the scenery and enjoy it's beauty?
Exactly Shirley and that's why I also posted this:

I think ...
... there should be checkpoints to remove all devices other than dedicated camera's from anyone entering the dales.

I love Richmond ...
... there's a lovely cafe under one of the arches of the bridge where you can sit and watch the Thames flow by. Plenty of pubs too!!
Sounds perfect

The Northeners have all the common sense.
