The Britpick Post

[wendymr]

Since I'm getting asked Britpick questions here and there around LJ, and I've said before that I never mind being asked Britpick-related questions, here's a permanent thread for asking those kind of questions. I'm going to set comment notifications on for this post, and also create a tag for it.

I still do recommend

Yes, definitely punting. Have you ever seen films/dramas/documentaries/travel programmes visiting Oxford or Cambridge? The flat-bottomed boats you see on the rivers there (the Thames and the Cam) with one person standing up in front (or can also be at the back) with a long pole are punts. It's a lovely way to spend a summer afternoon :)

Those two images make me long for summer and warmth. Its snowing again. Punting might be fun to try, at least it would be better than sailing on a windless day. :)

Yeah, I think when I did it we punted from the back - it's so long ago now and I really was not good at it. But it was definitely fun. :)
