Joe Willis is an award-winning journalist. Formerly of The Northern Echo, but now the editor of his own local news service, Richmondshire Today, Joe has written stories which have been followed up by news organisations around the world.
Born and raised in the Yorkshire Dales, he was perhaps the ideal candidate to write a guidebook on Swaledale for Richmond Tourist Information Centre. The problem for Joe and the TIC, is that he is used to knocking out 250-word articles rather than 80-odd pages of book, meaning the glacier which shaped the Pennines moved at a faster pace than the writing of this quirky guidebook did.
