Eldee, you caught up to me and passed me while I lingered with Tom!
Mile 133-on the East road headed to Bree.
Hello, Cali, glad to see you on the road as well!0 -
Mile 136- I reached Bree and met Strider. Now I'm walking with Strider!!!!!! *swoons*0

Byrdie, that was so rude of me to pass without stopping to say hello. Hope our paths cross again soon so I can make it up to you with some good fellowship.
Hi, Cali!

Mile 144- ON a 5 mile trek to CHetwood, No living things all day. :~(0

I'm feeling very motivated, and have covered 7.5 miles already
Currently, I'm looking back at the lights of Hobbiton from the first slopes of the Green Hill Country. Hopefully, I'll be having my frugal supper in a birch grove by days end 0 -

I'm back! 53 miles in.0

Took me a little longer to earn my frugal supper than I thought it would, but I finally got to eat!
I am now 11 miles along. Yay me 0 -
55 miles. I'm out of the woods and the sun is shining! I think I'll try to reach Bree by New Year's Eve. Only 80 miles to go and 15 weeks left would put me at a goal of 5.3 miles per week. As long as I work out at least twice a week, this goal should be too easy.0

I'm now at 33 miles...
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.).0 -
Lots of people on the road! What fun!
Mile 156- Walking through the quiet of Chetwood.
*eyes boggle* LIBBY! You've met The Doctor?0 -

Mile 172 in the rain today- very hobbity feeling with my hood up! Tomorrow I enter the Midgewater Marshes, eek!0

Bring your bug repellent, Byrdie!0

Wood more dense, and lane went lower, running in a fold of hills, with hazel on the slopes alongside. Pippin quickly becomes sleepy.0 -

54.3 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.).0 -
61 miles. Edges of fields worked by Farmer Maggot.0
-
Mile 199- Leaving the Marshes behind, yay! I can see the Weather Hills ahead. I think I will tackle walking some bigger hill to celebrate! I hope to walk the trail up and down Stone Mountain for my Weathertop walk. 0
-
63 miles. Farmer Maggot's house.0
-
61.5 miles.
Edges of fields worked by Farmer Maggot.0 -
Mile 210- next mile I will "Camp by a stream, among stunted alder trees. Moon waxing."
I've started walking a long hill near my home to prepare for the Weathertop climb. To celebrate walking 240 miles, I will walk up Georgia's Stone Mountain as my Weathertop-on or about mile 240. I am looking for steeper and steeper hills between now and then.
What thrills me is that the hill I am walking now is so much easier than it was back when I started. Walking and squats are really changing me for the better! Now to find an even steeper hill!0 -
You're doing great Byrdiebee! I love the idea of climbing a mountain as you go up Weathertop,
I'm now 63.8 miles... Farmer Maggot's house (yay!) and buildings: brick with thatched roofs, surrounded by a high wall cut by a wooden gate from the lane. Eat. (Est. time there: 5:30 - 7:00 p.m.: full dark when they leave).0 -
Mile 73 - Crickhollow - YAY!!
Spend the night. "A Conspiracy Unmasked"
I will leave Crickhollow soon after 6:00 a.m. Foggy. Ride ponies slowly.
I never realized just how large the Shire is.0
