its THE thing to do in Cambridge and Oxford... punts are these squarish boats and you stand on a platform at the back and are given a long stick which you stick into the water and propel yourself forward... it doesn't look that hard, but you have to make sure you stick it in straight down in the back, cause if you put to the side you turn sideways... and sometimes the river bed in deep and sometimes its shallow and sometimes its muddy and doesn't want to give you the stick back... paul did most of the punting, but i gave it a whirl at the end and managed a nice ziz zag back to the boat launch... and most importantly i didn't fall in!
