Any thoughts or tips on how best to prevent the needle skipping on LP's ?

Clean it?

Peat's have (had a couple of years ago) loads of stuff for cleaning and replacing styli.

Styli ? Must be a made up word

Otherwise, thanks

Sometimes dusty records cause the stylus to skip. I had decks back in the day and got vinyl cleaner and gave it a rub after using the record. Made the records stay good quality and kept the stylus from wearing out as quick

Some tips on care and cleaning abound on the interwebosphere, e.g. http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/fluids.html

EDIT: On the plural of stylus: Oxford and Miriam-Webster both prefer styli. Pineapple is right.
