Omnidirectional aerials (as is yours I believe), have a bit of a poor reputation in general for good signal reception in more marginal reception areas.
Those around you on site with the very common Vision Plus type directional caravan aerial (wedge shape and flipable from horizontal to vertical orientation, and needs manually pointing towards transmitter) will often get good reception, whilst omnidirectional aerials fail! And of course some may have satellite systems instead of aerials.
If you can't get a signal, whilst others on same site can, worth paying attention to see what aerial/satellite system they use, may just be omnidirectional aerial problem rather than a fault with your specific aerial.
Skipton broadcast mast is a public service broadcasting (PSB) (Freeview Light) transmitter, it does not provide many of the commercial channels, only providing less than half the Freeview channels that are normally available, so you may not find many channels you would normally watch. And like many PSB mast's it's lower power output, so weaker signal.
Rippon should have been OK, but some patchy coverage in region. Settle again a weak signal area I believe.
If it works in some areas, rather suggests no fault with equipment, but signal strength problem. Maybe stating the bleeding obvious, but I've encountered it on some sites, some pitches have good line of site view to transmitter, whilst others have trees, masts/pylons, buildings etc. in the way, that can weaken the signal enough to kill reception!
