Summary
Details

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)

Pleeease, hurry up and write another! ★★★★★ 'Having read a number of memoirs on El Camino de Santiago, and enjoyed the movie 'The Way', I am getting more discerning about the books I read on the topic. Keith Foskett's 'The Journey in Between' is among my prized reads thus far.' ★★★★★ 'If you have any interest at all in the Camino, I'd suggest you read this book. He is a captivating author!' ★★★★★ 'He provides beautiful descriptions of the sights along the trail and his funny encounters with the locals or fellow pilgrims, but the best sections are when he pauses to just enjoy the view. That is when I appreciated this book the most.' ★★★★★ 'One of the best in this genre!'
