Scholars Punting Cambridge - news and blog

Keep up to date

Our Blog gives a broad spectrum of punting related news and historic facts. We could blog about a historic site featured in our tour, this gives you an insight into the kind of historic facts to expect if you join us for a river trip. We may blog about an update or change within our company for example we might write about a new type of tour which we are offering. In the past we have written some news about the punting industry, an example was an update about illegal punting from Garret Hostel lane. You can browse through the list of weekly blogs and click through to any which interest you.
