There and Back Again: Be a Hobbit Challenge!

This will be something fun to do for the new year besides the "move your *kitten*". I love it!! I figure if I don't do any extra miles beyond my morning walks it will take until July to get to Rivendale. :flowerforyou:

OP-I am sorry for you loss, and this is such a sweet way to honor your Grandfather.:flowerforyou: I am excited to start walking to Rivendell too.

77.59 miles the most western slopes of Barrow-downs appear to the south.

I found a link (I think made by Nerd Fitness) to a google doc that lets you input your miles to automatically track where you are in your journey!
