Travelled Far

Keith Foskett adores the outdoors and is addicted to thru-hiking. A veteran of El Camino de Santiago in Spain, the Pacific Crest and Appalachian Trails, he follows a different lifestyle. Adventure and chasing dreams come first, convention and acceptance are second.

In this book he shares a collection of trips, thoughts and observations from his award-winning blog. From the extremes of the New Mexico wilderness to his beloved South Downs in England, he observes the world with clarity, hope, daydreams and humour.

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.

'Keith is a perfect walking companion for the ups and downs of the trail — his easy and understated style kept me turning the pages. Essential reading for those contemplating their own big adventure.'
— David Lintern (Editor — Outdoor Enthusiast Magazine) — Reviewing Balancing on Blue.

'Keith invites you to the world that he calls home. Be prepared for great storytelling, unique and interesting characters, humour and insight.'
— Andrew Skurka (Long-distance hiker, adventurer and National Geographic Adventurer of the Year 2007) — Reviewing Balancing on Blue.
