The Journey in Between

By Keith Foskett

Book Overview

A man at a crossroads. A thousand-mile hike. A life forever changed.

Keith Foskett was the definition of restless. Drifting aimlessly, he knew a piece was missing from his life. But when a stranger in a Greek bar tells him about a world-famous pilgrim's trail, the chance encounter sets Foskett's life in a new 1,000-mile direction.

On El Camino de Santiago, the hiker copes with extreme temperatures, fake faith healers, and kleptomaniacs. Threatened with arrest for 'not sleeping' and suffering with excruciating blisters, Foskett pushes himself to new limits. Can he find what he's looking for and reach the finish in Santiago de Compostela?

Keith Foskett's memoirs have been shortlisted for Outdoor Book of the Year multiple times by The Great Outdoors magazine. Awash with vivid descriptions and a cast of engaging real-life characters, the author delivers an amusing and enthralling tale of adventure and metamorphosis.

The Journey in Between is a daring travel memoir. If you like indulging your inner adventurer, taking the less popular fork in the road, and visiting other countries, then you'll love this transformative tale.

Editorial reviews:

'A thoroughly entertaining modern take on a well-worn Spanish Trail.'
- Spencer Vignes (The Observer).

'Not only does he have astute observations about the people, places and scenery around him, he is adept at translating those observations into words, often making me laugh or nod in understanding. This is a rare talent. Few authors can bring you to this level of understanding of life on the trail.'
- Teresa Dicentra Black (Author - One Pan Wonders)

'An engaging, vivid and very personal account by a likeable author of a journey and an achievement that readers will find both enviable and inspiring.'
- Ingrid Cranfield (Author - At Last Michael Reeves)

Loved it

I’ve read many books on the Camino and this one is a fresh way of learning about ALL of the different aspects of a long walk.

The "Camino de Santiago" - Light.

I liked the book but I say "Light" because there could have been so much more. I understand that this is the author's journey an introspective synthesis of the journey that is life but I think a bit more care should have been taken. Many of the place-names are mis-spelled, towns, rivers etc. This should not be, what does it take to look up the spelling of a town or river? After all, your writing a book! Maps should be at the beginning of every chapter showing the route taken with towns ( correct spelling please). Many beautiful towns were left out without so much as a passing comment. More should have been said regarding the "Camino" it history etc. The "Milky-way" is mentioned more than once but it's connection to the Camino is never mentioned. The Statue at the "Alto do San Roque" is not "Santiago" or St James. It is the statue of a Pilgrim.... Lastly, it would be nice to see a list of the equipment carried, shoes worn, laces replaced etc. I recommend the book as entertainment, but if you want to learn or plan on doing the Camino, look elsewhere. "¡Buen Camino!"
