Punting in River Cam

Punting refers to boating in a punt. Punt is a flat-bottomed boat. The punter generally propels the punt by pushing against the river bed with a pole.

The tradition in Cambridge is to do punting on the River Cam which flows through the Cambridge town. The banks on either side of the river belong to various university colleges. It was quite a soaky experience as the weather has not been too kind when we did the punting. Nonetheless it was an enjoyable trip.
