Topic: Punt boat

	Punt (boat) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Punting refers to boating in a punt; although punts were originally built as cargo boats or platforms for anglers, their use is almost exclusively confined to pleasure trips in the university towns of Oxford and Cambridge in England.
		Punting is a popular leisure activity on the rivers of several well-known tourist destinations: there are commercial organizations that offer punts for hire on the Avon in Bath, the Cam in Cambridge, the Cherwell and Isis in Oxford, at Stratford-on-Avon, and on the lower Thames near Sunbury.
		Punting on the Thames below Folly Bridge is often less enjoyable, mainly because of the competition from eights and sculls and motor boats; punts are recommended to keep close in beside the tow path.
