Keith Foskett was born in West Sussex, England. Having once been described as an anomaly (it was apparently a compliment), he has dabbled in various professions including car cleaning, refuse disposal, cooking and decorating.A few years ago he became addicted to walking ridiculous distances in remote locations, otherwise known as thru-hiking, and this forms the basis of much of his writing. With hikes of The Pacific Crest Trail, the Appalachian Trail and several hikes in Europe, his tally totals around 13,000 miles. He has written six books, the latest High and Low, deals with hiking across Scotland whilst coming to terms with depression.
From his vast experience in thru-hiking Keith has some great advice for anyone wanting to take on one of these great trails.
