Upside down Geese, Osney bridge, Port Meadow, Salter's Steamers Oxford
Travelling on the Upper Thames through Oxford. Did we make it under Osney bridge?
A bit of a trip down memory lane for me, seeing places I spent a lot of my childhood, and my first job, working for Salter's Steamers.

Oxford Kayak Tour 2014 - Dodge the Punts
The sun came out and with it, a million punts.Punts, rowing boats, paddle boats, motor cruisers, Salter's Steamers and just about everything else that can float including hashtag #TheBigFloater whoever they are.
At this time of the year the river is normally slow moving but due to heavy rain earlier in the week there was quite a flow. This meant lots of punts were out of control and many were unable to punt back to Magdalen Bridge against the current. In the video you can see punts stuck against the sides of the river either in the bushes or being pulled along the bank with a rope. On a good day punts are usually all over the place but today was carnage.
Somehow, not sure how, we survived...
