The path alongside Queen's Road
Qualcomm goes Punting on the Cam, Grantchester Meadows, Cambridge - 18th August 2005
Qualcomm Cambridge goes for a punt up the River Cam. At the end of the journey waits Bill "I am food" Munday, manning a big gas barbeque stationed on Grantchester Meadows and assisted by Andrew Clarke and family. Aside from a few spots of rain, the weather remains favourable, warm and humid. Ben, being a genuine Cantabridgian, does the bridge-hop thing on several occasions, and there's a good deal of inter-punt banter and shenanigans on the way.
