Mrs Saul's Luxury British Car Trip

Thanks to a friend of ours who is a senior features writer for one the Middle East's leading publishing powerhouses, Mrs Saul will be spending a weekend at the Six Senses Spa in two weeks' time.

The last time she and I drove there was when the area, known as Zighy Beach, was only accessible via a treacherous, extremely steep and rocky mountain road. It was incredibly exciting to drive up and down it in the Jeep. Since the hotel was built, the road has now been improved and made private. No chance to test out the RR's offroad skills, sadly.

I have a small video from 2003, when we first drove up there - I will try to dig it out.

Mrs Saul spending a weekend away from me in a luxury spa is fine, as far as I am concerned. After all, I am away a lot of the time on trips to other five star locations - Lagos springs to mind. But taking an Aston Martin out?!
