Walking the Wharfe - an enchanting travel memoir retracing the steps of a Victorian writer by walking the length of one of the Yorkshire Dales' best-known rivers. In this love letter to the waterway that flowed through the author's childhood into his adult life, Johno Ellison reveals a microcosm of English culture, landscape and history.
Johno Ellison grew up in the village of Boston Spa on the River Wharfe in Yorkshire, UK, and developed a particular fascination with the waterway. He spent his childhood exploring the riverbanks of Lower Wharfedale, plus the hills and valleys upstream. Ellison briefly worked in one of Wetherby's many pubs - also near the river - before joining the Royal Air Force to train as helicopter pilot at RAF Church Fenton, just a stone's throw from the water. He has subsequently walked the River Wharfe multiple times. He has visited more than 80 countries and once travelled around the world in a vintage London black cab, setting Guinness World Records for the Longest and the Highest Taxi Journey Ever - an adventure captured in his book It's on the meter. Ellison currently lives in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with his wife Lindsay - who he met in a small village beside the River Wharfe.
