Smelling the Breezes is an inspiring adventure that throws down a gauntlet about what can be achieved in a family holiday. Rather than give a leaving party, Ralph and Molly Izzard had their own plans about how to say goodbye to their home in the Middle East.

They would walk the three-hundred mile spine of the Lebanese mountains, camping wherever they stopped with their four children, two donkeys and Elias (their gardener-nursemaid-friend) as their sole travelling companions.
