*JAN 22 4 Miles* Story Milestone Road zig-zigs to top of a steep bank and goes down for the last time. Can see across Woody End to the River. **THEY STOP TO REST, EAT, and REST more! (ca. 1:30-4:30 p.m.) Sun was beginning to get low as they went down the hill. (mile 29)
Road ahead runs fairly straight and level. Behind them it curves slightly. BLACK RIDER. Sam and Pippin hide in a hollow. Frodo behind tree by road (ca.5 p.m.) (mile 32)
JAN 23 6 Miles Road splits. Road to Stock bends left and goes down into the lowlands. They take a lane which branches to the right, winding through a wood of ancient Oaks. Sun down and evening coming (ca. 6:30 p.m.). Quite close to the road-meeting they creep inside a huge tree. Eat and rest. (mile 37)
Go on in twilight. Begin to sing. (ca. 7:00 p.m.) (mile 38)
*JAN 24 6 Miles* Story Milestone And NOW to bed! Pippin says, when BLACK RIDER is heard again (ca. 9 p.m.). ELVES arrive, RIDER leaves, and Frodo & Co. continue with Elves. (mile 41)
Wood more dense, and lane went lower, running in a fold of hills, with hazel on the slopes alongside. Pippin quickly becomes sleepy. (miles 42-44)
JAN 25 4 Miles Turn right off the path on through thickets.(mile 45)
Camp - Woody End. A green floor in the wood, roofed by boughs of trees. To the east a steep shoulder falls, and they can overlook the river valley. The lights of the village of Woodhall seen below (ca. 11 p.m.). (Miles 46)
Sleep late (leaving time ca. 11:00 a.m.). Frodo decides to cut SE to Buckleberry Ferry. Scramble down hill into the thick trees below. It begins to cloud up.(Mile 47)
Pippen realizes it's the stock brook (mile 48)

JAN 27 3 Miles They reach a belt of trees, mostly oaks with a few elms and ash. Drops of rain fall. Pippin realizes they've turned too far south as they are still in the trees. (miles 50-52)
Jan 28 4 Miles Still in the trees, they stop for lunch (ca. 2:00 p.m.). Their singing is cut by the cry of a Black Rider, and they leave (ca. 3:00 p.m.).Wood ends.
