Definition of Punting (for those that are confused)

Punt.
Flat-bottomed boat for enjoyment on the river, especially the Cherwell, in
summer months. Strawberries and Champagne or Pimms also recommended. You
`punt' (with a pole) from the sloping end at the back rather than the flat
end. In Cambridge they punt from the other end, but to avoid confusion both
ends are flat in Cambridge. You can draw your own conclusions. First rule
of punting: always hang on to the punt rather than the pole. You'll have
to find out the rest of the rules by trying it.
