Walking Along Hadrian's Wall

Yesterday, I went to walk along the remains of Hadrian's Wall. I took the train to Haltwhistle (which, by the way, is supposed to be the geographic center of Britian), and then walked about 3 miles to the Roman Army Museum, at which point I joined the wall itself. From there, I walked about 6 miles past Cawfield Quarry to Steel Rigg. At that point, I had to get a bus back to Haltwhistle in order to get my train home. The country is fantastic, and the walk was great.

During my walk, I listened to my iPod on Shuffle Mode. Here's a list of all of the songs that I listened to while I was walking (to be honest, some of these I skipped through):
