Description

The Downhill Hiking Club: A 470-kilometre journey across Lebanon, from the Israeli border to the Syrian border, undertaken by three friends with little experience and a lot of enthusiasm.

Dom Joly, who grew up in Beirut, had always wanted to tackle this challenging hike, and with the support of his two closest friends, he convinced them to join him on the adventure. Along the way, they encountered a range of characters, including a Hezbollah Museum guide who seemed unfazed by the presence of circling Israeli jets.

This entertaining and affectionate account of their journey is a love letter to Lebanon and its rich history, with a meditation on family and homeland at its heart. Written with humour and wit, it's a big-hearted tale of friendship and growing old disgracefully.
