A few weeks ago we attended a classic Cambridge summertime festivity, the Cambridge Bumps boat races. The bumps are an Oxbridge phenomena where boats from varying Colleges and clubs and even pubs race for miles down the river with spaced starting times and try to catch up to or "bump" the boat in front of them.
For you sports-fans who want more info about the Bumps here is the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumps_race
Here are some rowers who are gentleman on top and athlete on the bottom.
It was a lovely English midsummer's activity.
