With tales of local history, the changing of the seasons, facing death and pursuing his chosen path, this is a glimpse into one man’s unfaltering passion to follow his dreams.
About the author.
Keith Foskett has hiked over 10,000 miles in recent years and holds a deep respect for our outdoor spaces.

Two of his books have been short-listed for outdoor book of the year by The Great Outdoors magazine, and his blog was voted outdoor blog of the year by the Go Outdoors group. Partial to a decent bottle of Rioja, he nurtures an unhealthy interest in down sleeping bags and woollen underwear. He was born and still lives in south-east England.

Reviewer: Reader for Bookangel.
In his life, Keith estimates he has hiked nearly 12,000 mile, including one thousand mile hikes, and he shares stories from those walks here.
I can’t fault the presentation, and the writing makes it an interesting book if not a gripping one. Less bears, and more broken maps, pneumonia (in the desert, blisters, and vanishing hostel reservations, this book really is one for hikers and lovers of the great outdoors. There’s a fair bit of hiking philosophy and thoughts on life here too.
While he doesn't give details or maps of his exact routes, he does name them which is enough for other hikers to look up the trails he has travelled. While he loves the South downs near his home, the trails he walks are international, and there are stories here from Europe and the US among others.
All profits from the paperback edition are being donated to Mountain Rescue, a nice touch.
For hikers, campers, and outdoorsmen, you will find a kindred spirit in these pages. For anyone considering those pursuits, I’d suggest reading this first as it can be eye-opening. Rating:4
I absolutely adore travel stories and this one sounds interesting and with problems that all hikers can relate to. I for one have never dealt with a bear attack but I know the pains of blisters and damaged maps. I can't wait to give this a read.
