    One does not simply walk into Mordor, or do they? : grins :

    I've been looking in the group section and I realized that there's no group?! Is there one that I don't see or else I think we should create one! I'm heading to work soon but if nobody starts one, I will as soon as I can today. If there's one, please send me an invite or message me the link! Thanks!

    I have an idea. An idea that has been done several times before, I'm sure. But I don't care, because it sounds fun. I'm walking from The Shire to Mordor, just because it sounds cool :) and dude, it is like 1100 miles, 1560 if you go the way Frodo and Sam went. That's a pretty dang good workout, I'd say! I just wanted to let you guys know, so you can join me or make fun of me or whatever. Feel free to add me :D and join me in my journey if you'd like :)

    That's AWESOME! Mad nerd props to you! sign me up. I need a pedometer!

    I'm loving this. What a fantastic idea. I may join you on the walk back to the shire. Feels like I've been a drudge in Mordor for a long time and the shire sounds like an excellent destination.

    Awesome thread!

    I'll try to catch you guys up... if I count my two lunchtime walks (yesterday and today) I'm only 2 miles in, so I'm still following the hedgerows :happy:

    Just found this! Amazing idea!!

    I've checked out the website, and decided to do The Hobbit walk in honor of the movie coming out this year. Plus I really like doing things in order. Using the Nike+/Runkeeper apps I've used on my walks so far this year, I've got a total of 29.24 miles.

    That translates to "Continue east on the Road at a leisurely pace" on Day 3.

    I expect it to take 3 months to finish the Bag End to Rivendell trip (397 miles). I walk about 5 miles per trip, and it'll take 80 to get the miles. This definitely puts the walk in another perspective!

    This thrills me down to the depths of my geeky soul.
