This tiny English village deserves the same attention as the town of F***ing in Austria... Now I regret not visiting this place when I was in Sheffield (the largest city in Yorkshire) last summer http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/2006040...jugOrgF;_ylu=X3oDMTA5aHJvMDdwBHNlYwN5bmNhdA-- Satellites lure motorists to danger in Crackpot 3 minutes ago LONDON (AFP) - Motorists using satellite navigation around the sleepy English village of Crackpot are finding themselves being directed to the top of a 30-metre (100-foot) cliff, local residents said. Cars, minibuses and even big trucks often take the steep, twisty road used by holidaymakers, walkers and sightseers travelling from Swaledale to Wensleydale in North Yorkshire, in the north of England. But when their GPS systems lure them onto a rough gravel track -- thanks to an apparent programming glitch -- they perilously have to back up close to the edge of the cliff in order to turn round. "When they get grounded on the small boulders, we're having to go up there in the tractor and pull them out," said Carol Porter, who farms in Crackpot with her husband Steven. "If we're outside, we try to stop them, but it's a public right of way so we can't put any signs up saying no entry. We want this sorting out before something terrible happens." Grinton Parish Council, which includes Crackpot, is asking North Yorkshire County Council to look into the problem and see if safety signs could be erected.
