Dear Adventurer
Who would have dreamt of the day that
Covid-19 would not make news headlines? Yet now we are focused on
something much worse - the daily atrocities being inflicted on Ukraine.
Our hearts are with Ukraine's citizens and we hope and pray for dialogue
and a speedy resolution.

OMAN'S HIDDEN GEM
Six Senses Zighy Bay is located on Oman’s northern Musandam Peninsula, a scenic 120-minute journey through an other-worldly landscape from Dubai. Unlike anywhere else, the resort is set between craggy mountains on one side and a long sandy beach on the other. Remote yet easily accessible, it is tied to tradition yet offers every comfort. Fully vaccinated travellers no longer require a PCR test to enter Oman! It's a great option for a week's holiday. Contact Fiona for a quotation.

National Park are breathtaking. As of last week, PCR testing upon

I am proud to have passed my Hill and Moorland Leader Award
on Dartmoor last month. Walking has been a good antidote to the
difficulties faced by our industry. Stormy conditions, torrential rain
