Almost as old as night climbing, punting is just as Cambridge...
The bible of punting, RT Rivington's 1982 Punting: Its History and Techniques is due to be published next spring by local small publisher Oleander Press. However, three of the chapters from that tome have been brought out early in a special format just for fans of the Cambridge punting scene. The book covers the last hundred+ years of the sport in Cambridge, an exhaustive run-down of the techniques of punting for beginners and improvers, and a general history of the punt itself. Fascinating stuff. Use the coupon 'CDP' to get 10% off.
