    So proud of my 4 year old walking 3.42 miles with me.

    37.23 miles to Caras Galadan

    This is really awesome. I wish there was a map on the app to trace how far you've gotten.

    Is there an app for the walk to Erebor?

    Unfortunately not. I found a couple of online resources that gave me the mileage and waypoints and I knocked up a spreadsheet to log my miles since I reached Mordor.

    Was that the spreadsheet you shared earlier? If so, thanks again. Anyways, I still have more than 2,700 km to go to Mordor, so no use thinking about Erebor yet!

    No. I had a separate sheet for Erebor. It's not as pretty.
    I used these two lists to get my numbers:

    http://home.insightbb.com/~eowynchallenge/Tools/Lonely_Mountain/lonely_mountain.html

    Then every day I put my mileage in the next empty cell in column A on here and it does the rest.

    4.7 miles today, had the wrong keys in my pocket so I ran right past the truck / old man willow, and now I am only 4/10 mile from Tom Bombadil's house. Which is fun because my handle on WtM is Goldberry56...

    Making slow progress, but I'm happy that it's progress. Finally out of Bag End and into Tookland! Only 26.1 miles until Encounter with Black Rider. That must seem so long ago for many of you!

    27.49 miles until I am attacked by Wargs. :o:o

    @TEQWAR have you decided what trip to take next? The trip back to the Shire from Minas Tirith and then to the Grey Havens is not documented in detail even by JRRT, although it's cheerier than the walk to Doom...

    Nothing springs to mind. I need to find something as I'm racking up some serious miles this month (17 miles just today) and I'd like them to be going towards something.

    I might go shopping, I know they've got a Gap at Rohan. Do they have an UnderArmor or a Nike?

    :lol:

    Not sure, but if you are looking for a car I understand there's a Ford of Bruinen up by Rivendell -- that's a dealership right?

    Hi everyone! I was deep inside for grid for a while hiking the John Muir Trail - got some serious miles in but even more perspective oh what a job it would actually be if all these miles to Mordor were mountainous and wilderness- those are some stout hearted hobbits

    Maybe do a virtual hike of the Pacific Crest Trail or the Appalachian Trail (or something like that)? Those are really well documented with all many stops inbetween.
