| | Stuff for you to do this week | | | | Walk the line | | Are you in the dreaded ‘use it or lose it’ situation with your remaining work holiday? Spend it walking ‘The Line’, which despite the name, is neither straight nor straightforward. The trail of sculptures follows the Greenwich meridian with artworks from the likes of Antony Gormley and Laura Ford, whose ‘Bird Boy’ sculpture in the Royal Docks is a lonely figure of a lost child in a bird costume. So 2020. | | The best of the rest: | Hundreds of researchers and historians are coming together, mainly virtually, all this week to lend their ideas to this experimental humanities festival. It’s broad, vague and full of strange ways to kill an hour – so it’s arrived at just the right time.
Has lockdown scuppered your adrenaline-junkie plans? From Thursday, tune into the virtual version of Kendal Mountain Festival to watch adventure docs and get open-water swimming tips from the pros.
