We went punting. The blue shirt is [livejournal.com profile] cfeng's body. Please note the lack of punt pole in his hands. And then spot it somewhere behind the punt...





But then again, he's a hell of a lot better at it than I am!

Punts are flat-bottomed boats (have you seen pictures of Venice?). They are propelled along by a person standing on a little platform with a long pole. They use the pole to push off the river bed. It's a slow way of moving, and the steering gets very dodgy. It's a bit of a Cambridge (and Oxford) thing. In Oxford the boat faces the other direction because they're weird.
