Syd Barrett Fund (http://www.syd-barrett-trust.org.uk/) - a distance of some 60 miles. When Syd left London and returned home to Cambridge at the beginning of the eighties he decided to walk the whole way, and over the Easter weekend the Syd Barrett Memorial Walk (http://www.justgiving.com/sydbarrettwalk) will take place. The challenge will begin at the Roundhouse in Camden, a venue Syd played with Pink Floyd in the mid 60s, and his sister Rosemary, founder of the Fund, has good memories of seeing him perform there. She also explains the background to one of the key places in Cambridge the walkers are heading for. While in London during the 60s it was very exciting because Syd was there too and that's when it all took off. I remember going to see him at The Roundhouse and having a great time.
