    It seems I got a little bit lost on the way and have just been wandering in the woods for a year or so... But, I'm back now and over the last week I have wracked up 26.4 miles, putting me at 313.4.

    Looks like I stopped to camp and am following a wide shallow curvy valley.

    23.5 miles since leaving home. I've almost walked a marathon! The road just goes up and down and up and down and up and down. Pippin talks too much. I'm hungry.

    I am just 17 miles into my adventure, but I'm determined to get to Rivendell.

    Did another 18.1 miles this week, now I'm at 331.5 and continuing in the valley, almost five days from Weathertop.

    I did 21.1 miles since my last tally, so I'm at 352.6. I'm continuing in the valley. I've almost reached camp.

    33 more miles. 385.6: I set up camp, returned to the Great East Road, crossed the River Hoarwell/Mitheithel, enterded the lands of the Trollshaws, camped in the hills, climbed through the hills, got rained on, and camped by a stony shelf by a shallow cave. It's been a busy couple of weeks.

    39 miles since leaving Bag End. We're in a wood of ancient oaks and hiding inside a large tree.

    Two days ago we had a horrifying experience! A rider dressed all in black was on the road behind us. The air felt wrong and we felt we should hide off the road. The creature (for it was no man) slowed down near us and sniffed the air. We were afraid to breathe! It screeched and moved on. I'm still waiting for my blood to thaw after all that fear and evil.

    6-1/2 more miles for 45 total miles.

    I got to see elves! I've heard stories but never seen them before.

    241 miles in means I've made it to Weathertop! Watch out everyone. There are Nazgul here. I guess I better hurry on down the road.

    Six and a half more miles. Pippin says we've gone too far South. He's such an insufferable know-it-all.

    59.3 miles.

    I can see Farmer Maggot's fields up ahead. Do you think he'll notice if a few of his cabbages and carrots go missing?

    305 miles

    After getting Nazgul wounded (dropped out) and wandering around a bit, I've returned. Determined to get to Rivendell, I've found the road again and set out.

    Please "friend" me, and we can walk together.

    Finally getting back to this after falling off the wagon for a while...

    Mile 229: Reached foot of the Weather Hills. Camped there. Follow path south toward Weathertop: path is cunningly hidden and is edged with stones where land is open. Sam recites part of "The Fall of Gil-galad."

    Mile 240: Climb to top of Weathertop and enter the ruins of the watch Tower of Amon Sûl. See Black Riders on road below.

    Injured, Frodo is carried on pony. Head south from dell.

    I've headed 2 miles further down the road, and then come here and realize I'm further than I thought I was. I thought I had stopped on Weathertop so my story was that I got stabbed by a Morgul blade and it caused be to swell up and lose muscle tone. HAHA

    But I was on mile 305, so...

    307-I'm "Follow(ing) a wide shallow curving valley."

    I am heading back to Bag End and am almost to Weathertop. I should see you along the way!

    Took a long time off. Moved to a NYC so I walk a couple miles every day now but that's just my normal commute so I don't think it counts for this. Trying out gyms around here now. Did a mile on the elliptical yesterday.

    261 miles.
