    Welcome to the group! All are welcome and we all need follow travelers to help and encourage us along the way. It sounds like you have your plan and goals all set out and are ready to start in. I've always felt that any form of physical transportation counts as the Hobbits used ponies and boats also. The main thing is not to get discouraged. I've been working on this quest since 2008 and finally made it to Mount Doom! I am now on the journey home. Tell Elrond hello when you reach Rivendell!

    Forgot to put my updates on here!

    After a bit of training and two parkruns, I'm currently up to 48.2 miles, which is Day 3: 48 miles - Pippin realizes it is the Stock-brook. The banks are low enough now for them to cross. The land on its south bank is wet and reedy.

    Day 3: 50 miles - They reach a belt of trees, mostly oaks with a few elms and ash. Drops of rain fall.

    Getting lost and walking 5 miles to find a UNESCO World Heritage Site brings me to 88 miles total. I hope to start walking more now that I'm back from my semester abroad and am back into a more normal routine.

    I made it to Rivendell.

    Lord Elrond welcomed me with a feast, but I only ate in moderation and was more interested in the great big, fluffy, comfy bed they offered me.

    I've since left and done a quite few miles, but I will post that in the next thread :)

    Hi I'm new here, I'm just starting my journey. I'm 25 miles in and sitting at camp overlooking the shire :)

    Hello, Nancy! I'm glad to see someone else here! Yesterday's walk got me to the 200 mile mark. I definitely plan on making it to Rivendell by the end of the year. It shouldn't be too hard since it means I will need to average just 5 miles a week.

    Hello, Flora! I haven't been walking as much as I used to, but since I last posted I have managed another 10.5 miles which brings my total to 210.5 miles.

    9.63 total miles. I can no longer see Hobbiton. I guess this journey is real.
