Hang the DJ

I've been out into the Peak District today, for a little walk around Castleton. Normally we'd do walk then lunch, but due to running late to start with, and then getting caught in the traffic going to the Hope show (as in the town of Hope, not a show where people go to hope nice things will happen), we did lunch then walk. Lots of hill. And then a detour down a tourist cave, which I may or may not write about tomorrow.

As tends to be the way, I was on DJ duty in the car. Here, mainly for Chip's benefit to be honest, are the songs I stuck on (excluding the first two as I have forgotten what they were - the others were all saved in a playlist as I went along).

I realise that this is basically just a list of random songs, so feel free to skip to the end of the post if you want.
