Sports Travel: Go fly a kite!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Theme: Other

    Flying kites is a terrific way to relax. Alternatively it's a great way to get some serious exercise - it depends on the kite. Some of the big flexifoils take all your strength to keep you on your feet!

    Hampstead Heath is the classic place to fly them. Kensington Gardens is good too, for gentler kites. Somebody once told me that it's considered seriously naff to fly a kite in Kensington Gardens that you haven't made yourself - but that's taking it too seriously. Just be careful of Prince Charles's personal helicopter if you go there!

    Equipment: Get everything you need, including expert advice, from The Kite Store (qv)

  • Skating at Somerset House

    Here's a surprise, I never knew about this.

    In the courtyard of Somerset House, home of the Courtauld Institute, an open-air skating rink is laid out on a crisp, clear, January evening.

    Equipment: Hire skates on the spot. GBP 9.50 for adults, not cheap but it's just such an unusual experience. End of November to end of January.
