In 2015, the author decided to embark on a 100-mile journey walking along one of England’s National Trails. An avid walker, she thought she was up for the challenge of an eight-day hike, and happily set off to explore the South Downs. What followed was a beautiful journey through Nature that was both more satisfying and more difficult than she ever imagined.
Undaunted, and after walking various other long-distance trails in the following years, she returned to the South Downs in 2019 for a second go. She was able to avoid all the mistakes she had made on her first journey, and the two experiences were like night and day.
This book contains all the blisters, sweat, and tears from the first life-changing journey—and all the joy, presence, and magic of the second one.

Diego is drifting. He has been content with living his life in a sun-scorched village that lies on the route of the pilgrim path: The Camino de Santiago. But one stormy night, change is forced upon Diego when his father, Eduardo, the local candyfloss maker, unexpectedly catches him entertaining a captivated crowd with flamenco guitar rhythms. At that moment, Eduardo lets go of the ghosts from his past and realises it’s time for Diego to find his path in life.
Eduardo arranges for Diego to live and work on a farm and sends him on his way with the gift of his old Spanish guitar.

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 wanderer copes with extreme temperatures, fake faith healers, and insatiable 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 make it to the other side?

No Guide Would Take Them…
Friends Rob, Pete, and Jack were stuck in their bunk house, their crampons and ice axes taunting them. They had spent months training to summit and ski Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe. But conditions were bad.
Still Rob wouldn’t take no for an answer. Not from the guides, nor the mountain. He proposed risky solutions. Pete embraced them, determined to bag the peak before his fortieth birthday. Jack regretted ever agreeing to the ascent—he’d only come for the glorious ski down.
Then a scary Canadian walked through the door and announced, “I’ll take you to the top.”
Was he their salvation or damnation?
