Brooklands Ghost Walk!
Discussion
Hi All,
In the latest copy of Octane, there's a feature on 'Torchlight Ghost Tours' being held at Brooklands!
They consist of, 'an indepth tour of the remaining parts of the circuit, the museum, aircraft hangers, and all the surrounding buildings'.
The article said that Brooklands is now known as one of the most haunted sites in the UK, frequented by the ghosts of some of the old racing drivers, motorcyclists, and pilots who came to a sticky end there, most famous being Percy Lambert - 1st man to cover 100miles in 1 hour, (followed by a rather quick stop).
I really fancy doing this, (would love to spot the partly decapitated ghost of JG Parry Thomas
) and knew it would appeal to some of you lot as well, so thought I'd post up here and see if anyone else was up for a bit of ghostbusting!!
The dates are a long way off yet, with only a few tours planned later in the year - 12th and 26th November, and 10th December. Now that they've been publicised in Octane I'd imagine they'll get booked up pretty quickly, so although they're miles away, it'd be prudent to book early...
So if anyone wants to come too, I'm happy to liase with Brooklands, organise a bite to eat afterwards if anyone still has an appetite, and try and get a group discount on Proton Packs as well!!
DATE: WEDNESDAY 12TH NOVEMBER
TIME: 18:00 FOR A 18:30 START
LOCATION: BROOKLANDS MUSEUM
COST: £11
PAYMENT: CHEQUE (made out to: Brooklands Motor Museum Trust Ltd) - SENT TO MYSELF
FINAL LISTList now closed (20th Oct)
edited to add event details, list of attendees, and whether you want to have a bite to eat after
