Sports have many differences as well as similarities. We know the Punt commonly as kicking a ball in either football or soccer. Punt is used as a sort of a slang when taking a gamble or long shot. But a punt is also a long narrow flat-bottomed boat with square ends usually propelled with a pole.
Another meaning of a punt is the large indent in the base of wine bottles. Punts are used to strengthen the bottle. Funny most of us think the punt is used to make the bottle look like it contains more wine than it really does. Who knew?
Punting is a big attraction in Cambridge, England. Cambridge is a college town along the river Cam. Punts are available for hire in all sizes ranging from self-rides to guided tours. The views are scenic as the river weaves between Cambridge’s 5 major colleges including Kings College.
Both Cambridge England and Cambridge Massachusetts US are college towns. Cambridge England is home to 32 colleges. Cambridge Massachusetts which was modelled on the English Cambridge, has at least 10 colleges. As a result both Cambridge's are and have been leading locations for new technologies and industries.
Companies headquartered in Cambridge England include Astra Zeneca, Abcam and Pro Cam Europe. The list in Massachusetts features Biogen, Akamai Technologies and Moderna. Today both Cambridge's play an important roll in advancements in Life Sciences and Biotechnology.
Back to Punting which is about fun and more of an activity than a sport. The guided tour is recommended. Sit back and enjoy!!
