Punting guide

Apr 16 2008

A boat club is offering a solution to an age-old summer problem facing first-year students at Cambridge University.

The Punt Society at St Johns College, Cambridge, has produced a "Bluffers Guide To Punting" on its website.

Experienced student punters explain how to start, lift the pole, and steer in a set of illustrated internet instructions and tell learners how to look like a professional and not like a tourist.
