Dette er utvilsomt en av de vakreste elvestrekningene i England, og det finnes ingen bedre måte å oppleve den på enn fra en av de sjåførbaserte puntbåtene, med en av de kunnskapsrike guidene som gir en omvisning som kombinerer et historisk perspektiv med innsikt i universitetslivet i dag.

Historie

Punts - a brief history

A punt is a traditional square-ended, flat-bottomed boat, usually propelled using a long pole. One such area was the Fens, the marshy flatlands north of Cambridge, where punts were integral to local trades such as eel fishing and reed-cutting until they died out in the late nineteenth century.

Scudamore's

Jack Scudamore introduced pleasure punting to Cambridge in Edwardian times, pioneering punt hire on the River Cam. Jack founded his business at the turn of the 20th Century, quickly establishing punting as Cambridge's favourite pastime. Today, Scudamore's Punting Company owns the world's largest fleet of punts, with nearly 150 boats available for hire along two routes.

Punting today

Punts today are usually 6 to 7 metres long and 1 to 2 metres wide. They are propelled by means of a 5-metre long wood or aluminium pole, which is also used to steer the boat. This method of propulsion is known as "punting" - just using a paddle to move along doesn't count!
