    Snow, rain and errands. Drug through the neighborhood on several walks by two excitable dogs; I should probably rename them Merry and Pippin.

    5.7 miles today; 20.7 miles to Encounter with Black Rider

    Nice work! My family got two kittens when I was in college, and my mom and I named them Merry and Pippin. :)

    4 miles in the snow this morning, and I made it to the edge of Farmer Maggot's field. :) Now 6.35 miles until Buckleberry Ferry.

    Congratulations!

    Love the kitten names! Were they mischievious??? :wink:

    Hi everyone. I'm doing a "Walk to Mordor" also; but, I'm not using the app. I'm using another site for tracking (see NerdFitness).

    I'm going to watch this thread, too and try to give updates as I progress.

    The NerdFitness tracking sheet only gives a few milestones in the walk; so, my updates will be different than what the app shows.

    Here goes:
    • Total Miles so far: 394 miles
    • Daily Pace: 5.97 miles
    • Distance to Rivendell: 64 miles
    • Distance to Mordor: 1385 miles
    • Distance back to Hobbiton: 3010 miles

    According to the milestones at The Eowyn Challenge, I'm near the "Stone Trolls," a remnant from Bilbo's journey in the hobbit.

    Welcome to the Fellowship! :smile:

    Yesterday: 5.1 miles, with snow & wind. Felt more like the hike over Caradhras, except no avalanche or rock-throwing creatures. 15.6 miles to Encounter with Black Rider.

    10k this morning. Made it to Buckleberry Ferry! 0.05 to go to Crickhollow. Probably should've looked ahead and done that this morning! :D

    Well, there's always this afternoon! :) I find it always feels good to get a couple of milestones under my belt in one day! Nice going.

    Either dedication, a touch of lunacy, or two dogs insisting on going outside RIGHT NOW. Take your pick. ;)

    Over the past two days, 9.2 miles. Sneaking up on that Encounter with Black Rider -- 6.5 miles to go.

    According to The Eowyn Challenge, I'm on Day Two (yikes, five days to do what Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin did in slightly more than one!), shortly after first breakfast, with the road rolling up and down.

    One more day should do it. ;) Maybe 5 days or so to complete it... :)

    I love that! I will definitely have to get that app and travel with you. The LOTR trilogy is at the top of my favorite movies list!

    Few more days like that and you'll soon see the back of this interminable waypoint!

    11.6 miles today. New target - 12.99 miles to The Cross-Roads

    Frodo and Sam were plodding along with heavy hearts, no longer able to care greatly about their peril. Frodo's head was bowed; his burden was dragging him down again. As soon as the great Cross-roads had been passed, the weight of it, almost forgotten in Ithilien, had begun to grow once more. Now, feeling the way become steep before his feet, he looked wearily up; and then he saw it, even as Gollum said that he would: the city of the Ringwraiths. He cowered against the stony bank.
