What a civilised day...almost. The Shackells and Griffiths' went punting in Cambridge, well kind of, it was about half an hour before we left the dock. Cous Cous was quite a pro at going backwards, and we liked going into the cherry tree which covered him in blossom. However, we got the knack, Cous Cous punted, I rowed. We had a few hiccups on the way, with a very low lying willow tree where cous cous had to lie on the punt in order to get under the branch. We were fine as long as we were by the wall. However, our neighbour didn't quite have they swing, their punt got stuck in the mud but they kept on going, punt-less. We then had a head on collison, with such a force that luckily Cous Cous fell into the punt, instead of the alternative of flying backwards. A great day, much cheaper than going on a tour, and I hadn't laughed that much for years!

Hahahaha! Sounds great fun! I've never punted on the Cam .. maybe I'll give it a miss!
Love the telephone box photo!
:) id recommend going on a tour, someone punts for you, and you get a commentary. Punting yourself is hilarious but going to the toilet in advance is advised.
