As I did most of this trip motoring, pints don't feature much but I went into cambridge on the bus - I just ran out of day.<br /><br />Wolfie - a dip in the Cam would certainly have done for the electronics but it doesn't seem very deep so I would have survived to tell the tale I suspect (though without pictures)Sandy's witteringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009803939431014995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473643361564881319.post-15227392010121646382011-06-05T15:03:14.769+01:002011-06-05T15:03:14.769+01:00Probably just as well you didn't hire a punt a...Probably just as well you didn't hire a punt and do it yourself lol you might not have been here to blog the tale! and your poor innocent hard done-by mobile might not have been the only one wet!

A punt is a type of kick in American football and Cambridge is in Massachusetts. My first thought was "You can't get away with that in the outskirts of Boston.

Norhing like a stately punt around a beautiful city, especially when you throw in Isaac Newton and Winne the Pooh - you didn't say anything about playing poohsticks though.<br />And I belive that traditional Japanese joinery tends not to require nails or pins, though I wouldn't claim to be an exeprt on that.Shundohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626305350101368912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473643361564881319.post-944897492023949462011-06-03T14:52:16.368+01:002011-06-03T14:52:16.368+01:00Punting, no I have not heard of that phrase.

Looks like a very peaceful experiance! Our rivers here are way to swift for such ventures. Here it's white water rafting or white knuckle!<br />I guess we do have a few slower parts & tributaries though...Michael (Light-In-A-Box)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06384247789221839215noreply@blogger.com
