WALKING THE WHARFE: AN ODE TO A YORKSHIRE RIVER (PB)

Traveller and author Johno Ellison returns to his roots on the River Wharfe, to retrace the steps of Victorian author Edmund Bogg and investigate how the riverscape and its communities have changed over 120 years. In the course of wild camping (and failing to deter inquisitive cows), meeting modern-day Vikings, wartime ghosts and the fearless 'Dales Dippers', encountering industrial remains, local legends and a family who have farmed the hills for five generations, Ellison uncovers a microcosm of English history and culture.
