Punting in Cambridge as Lockdown eases
Punting in Cambridge has finally become a reality again, rather than a distant dream.
England has been on lockdown due to Covid-19 since March, and the government is now looking forward to lifting some movement restrictions. People will slowly be allowed to leave their homes and venture out to catch the sunny rays that are shining across the country as summer approaches.
The best way to bask in all that glorious sunshine is by going on punting in Cambridge with a friend or two.
Usually, punting in Cambridge is a favourite among international tourists who fly from around the world to visit the famous colleges.
However, it is also the most quintessential English pastime that many residents can take advantage of, especially since tourist flights are currently still halted.
This will also make social distancing more comfortable because there are no crowds.
You can grab a Cambridge punt all to yourself and go for a row or lie back and enjoy the ride without sharing the boat with too many other people.
Here are the reasons why every resident should take an afternoon break to go punting in Cambridge as lockdown rules slowly lift in the upcoming weeks.
Enjoy the Summer Breeze
As the country continues to have incredibly warm and sunny days, it is never a better time to catch some rays to make up for all that lost time during isolation.

Trust us when we say that punting in Cambridge is way more fun than taking supplements, such as sardines, cod liver oil, or beef liver, to get your natural fix of natural D while taking selfies with sun-kissed drooping trees in the background.
Enjoy the Gorgeous Scenery
Even though Cambridge is a city, it does not feel like it most of the time, thanks to its vast and picturesque green spaces.
It makes it easier to get away from the bustle of the inner city, to catch a breath in a scenic place that helps your mind escape.
Grab a camera and go for a quick Cambridge punt. And then sprawl across an open field for a picnic and afternoon nap before exploring the colleges on foot.
It sounds like a great way to celebrate coming out of isolation, right?
