Midsummer punting madness Despite threatening weather we made our way to Cambridge for this year's Midsummer Night Picnic. There we rented punts from Granta Punt Hire, manhandled them onto the upper river and tacked towards Grantchester. Sadly, our three punts could field only 2½ punters at any given time, so progress was slow if not actually leisurely. We moored and feasted before reaching fabled Grantchester Meadows, and scraped back in to Newnham Millpond for the 10pm curfew. Although we drove through heavy rain both coming and going the only water that fell on the boats dripped from punt poles. Fortune favours the boat.
