This will be John’s 5th Visit to Grange. "Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran are in the news for all the wrong reasons," says John. He tested out his theory in a six-month journey from Beirut through Lebanon and Syria, then crossed the Euphrates to Iraq and finally Iran, where he hiked through the Valleys of the Assassins before finishing on a parched island in the Persian Gulf. Throughout he was helped by a spectacular variety of people along the way.
