Rupert Parker Walks And Bikes as he offers his guide to The Speyside Way. I’m on the Caledonian Sleeper on an overnight from London Euston to Aviemore. My Club En-Suite Room is comfortable, there’s good food on board, and I even manage a decent night’s sleep before arriving at 7.30am in Kingussie. I hoist my rucksack on my back and start walking the Speyside Way. This long distance route runs 137 km from Newtonmore, just beyond Aviemore in the Cairngorms, to Buckie on the coast.

Andy Mossack gets an exotic taste of Latin America at Zuaya in Kensington. Tucked away in tiny but well-heeled Kensington Court, a bijou pedestrian alley just opposite Kensington Palace, Zuaya offers up a joyous fusion of exotic flavours and sounds of south America. The first of a clutch of restaurants from entrepreneurial Spanish twins Alberto and Arian Zandi, that now includes Riviera, and Como Garden, both of which have previously garnered rave reviews from me in TripReporter.

Christopher Beanlands visits Saudi Arabia, to Investigate the Diriyah Islamic Arts Biennale and the art and design scene in Oman, UAE and JordanBefore me a row of oil barrels sit under a huge white elevated umbrella structure protecting me from the fierce desert heat. I’d wanted to visit Saudi Arabia since the Kingdom started reforming: granting rights to women and visas to tourists, but I wasn’t quite sure what I might find.
