This is amazing, I've never heard so much orienteering on the radio! Livening up the drive north no end.

[King Penguin]

High Hopes - Pink Floyd.
Simply the best song ever written.

we have to agree to differ on that one, good as they are

[Big Jon]

Orienteering on a radio request programme - don't be silly it will never happen - well it is now! Listening to the programme right now - bringing home the fact that WOC is about to happen far more than anything else.

Here's my play list for WOC; It's a big festival-

As the assembly field starts to waken up something serene and calm - Handel/Bach

Then a big anthem - a steal from the Olympics of course Elbow and One day like this

There is a massive international crowd of lots of young people - so must be Don't You Worry child by Swedish House Mafia

Followed by Take That - Greatest Day

Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk
ABBA - Super Trooper (Because It mentions Glasgow)
The Proclaimers - Letter from America
(all the suggestions in the posts above)
The Proclaimers - I'm going to walk (500 miles)
Loads more - but that's a start

For the medal ceremonies - I am sure you are going to have a piper playing - Highland Cathedral - there can be nothing better.

Have fun

an ode to route choice...

O ye'll tak' the high road, and Ah'll tak' the low

[King Penguin]

To round it all off, how about "Scotland will Flourish" by The Corries.

[Sunlit Forres]

If you missed it you can hear the whole thing here. Brilliant to hear so many great contributions from familiar names and massive thumbs up to Alison Matheson (INVOC) for kicking it all off. The Headless Chicken rocks!

Just the thing to get in the mood for the weekend http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b063dxjg
