Description
A real-life adventurer. A gruelling pan-American trek. Will one Englishman dare to face his fears?
Shortlisted for Outdoor Book of the Year by The Great Outdoors magazine
Born traveller Keith Foskett had thousands of miles of thru-hiking experience when he prepared for his toughest challenge yet: a gruelling 2,640-mile hike from Mexico to Canada. In a six-month journey along America’s Pacific Crest Trail, he crossed the arid expanses of California’s deserts, the towering peaks of Oregon’s volcanic landscape, and the dense forests of Washington.
Battling phobias of bears, snakes, critters, and camping in the woods after dark, can Foskett find new ways to achieve his ultimate goal when the worst winter in years bears down on the trail?
Shortlisted for The Great Outdoors magazine Outdoor Personality of the Year and Book of the Year multiple times, veteran storyteller Keith Foskett lets you join him for a trek across the greatest long-distance hiking trail on Earth. With witty humor, astute observations, and a delightful cast of characters, you’ll discover a compelling narrative that turns the travelogue formula on its head.
The Last Englishman is an extraordinary travel memoir by an experienced long-distance hiker. If you believe there’s more to life than work, yearn for new horizons and challenges, and believe in overcoming adversity, then you’ll love Keith Foskett’s tale of exploration.
Discover The Last Englishman to embark on a journey of tenacity today!
Reviews
"The Pacific Crest Trail is one of the most beautiful and diverse long distance trails in the world. The Last Englishman allows you to experience this amazing trail through the eyes of a thru-hiker. If you cannot take the time to hike the trail, then you should definitely take the time to read about it." (Jennifer Pharr Davis, previous record holder for the fastest thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail)
"It’s rare to find a book that captures the experience of long distance backpacking so well, and that is also fun to read. Fozzie’s account of his Pacific Crest Trail hike is educational, inspirational, and hilarious. A must-read for aspiring thru-hikers and outdoor adventure seekers." (Erik Asorson, The PCT Atlas)
Commentaires
"I’m not sure if Keith Foskett knows it but he has penned a hiking classic. I just wanted to pack up my bags and head off into the wilderness." (Spencer Vignes, The Observer)
"Telling the true story of a six-month PCT hike from Mexico to Canada, crossing wild desert and mountain and meeting everything from eccentric hikers to rattlesnakes along the way. Easy to read and at times laugh-out-loud funny, it will make you want to pack your rucksack and go." (Rosie Fuller, Adventure Travel magazine)
"Long-distance hiking is tragically romantic: it’s not all about fresh air, aesthetic majesty, and colorful company. This book is refreshingly honest about the difficulties and day-to-day monotony. But it also captures the rewards of this oversized effort to hike the United States end to end." (Andrew Skurka (National Geographic, Adventurer of the Year)

An OK book.
I think Keith accomplished an amazing achievement and his book has been an eye opener for me. I am more into long distance cycling, but this book has certainly made me think about taking up hiking and, why not, putting th PCT on my bucket list!
However I only gave 3 stars as I find its a bit repetitive and, at times, it can drag on a bit. I sometimes found myself lacking concentration while listening to the narrator and it took me quite a bit of time to finish the book. Maybe that's just down to it being an audio book and the voice of the narrator?? .... If I was able to, it'd be a solid 3.5 stars. I look forward to reading more by the same author.

Introduction to Thru-Hiking
This an excellent introduction to thru-hiking not in terms of thechnic but about the state of your mind while walking. The story telling is perfect but the narator is even better. The combination of both of them make this book a master piece.
