Tomorrow, the second of this year's three guided walks of Syd Barrett's Cambridge run by I-SpySydInCambridge
in conjunction with Brain Damage, takes place, and there are still a few
places left on it - if you respond today to the email address below. The
walks, tours of the city that take in many of the more significant
sites which were connected to the life and times of Syd, and the various
bands which lead to Pink Floyd, provide fascinating and illuminating
looks at those early days. Previous tours (see pictures) were much
enjoyed by those who participated - some of whom returned for more on
later tours!
The hosts of the tour - personal friends of Syd, who grew up with him -
share their own memories of school days and beyond with Syd, Roger
Waters, David Gilmour, and other Pink Floyd illumni who lived and worked
in Cambridge. If you are not able to make the tour scheduled for tomorrow (July 16th), there's one final chance to join in the fun and memories on September 10th, which is also a Saturday. As with the 2010 tours, some special guests are again being lined up. Should all be great days and not to be missed, especially as these are the final ones they are looking to do.

, the chief guide, to book your place(s) on the tour or
tours of your choice. After Warren confirms your place, he will then
trust you to turn up on the day and pay then. Warren said "Let's bring
alittle trust into this cynical world!"
All tours meet at the front of the Guildhall, Market Square, right in
the middle of Cambridge, and start at 10.30am, so if you will be
travelling to Cambridge, make sure you give yourself enough time so that
you don't miss the start. The railway station is about a 10-15 minute
walk from the city centre, and there are plenty of car parks if you are
driving in. Alternatively, if you are driving to Cambridge, you can take
advantage of one of the five Park and Ride sites situated around the
edge of the city - park for free and hop on a bus into town.
The tours are meant to last about two hours but in reality it's always
nearer three hours (or more), as the memories and stories start flowing
from those who really knew Syd and the others.
Don't miss this great opportunity to discover Syd's city. For more

recently updated website at www.I-SpySydInCambridge.com.
