    I blinked and sailed through Bree without even seeing a house let alone a tavern. Oh well :) These midges are annoying

    I'm still stuck in the Marshes with my Achilles tendinitis, but I'm hoping to make some progress next week, finally! Baby steps back to running.. :)

    Okay I am in. I have adored LOTR since (seriously true) the 1960's. I was a little off-put by discovering that it doesn't link GPS and so didn't start back when this thread first did, but ... okay, I will enter my miles :)

    I am now 2.5 miles from Tookland. What do you folks think, wasn't it actually like 35-40 miles from Hobbiton to Tookland? Or am I pushing canon too hard here :wink:

    Not according to the book, the maps and all the online resources - it was 5 miles.
    Here's a very good breakdown of distances that's taken from "The Atlas of Middle Earth" - the definitive geographical work of Tolkein's Middle Earth.

    Thanks for that resource, @TEQWAR - I obviously confused Tookland with Buckland, a rookie error. Glad I have company here on the road to Mordor ...

    And I have reached Tookland :)

    Yes, lucky you have company or you'd be lost already! (just kidding :P)

    Hammering through the miles there, Jo! I feel more than moderately lazy at only putting in 6 today!

    Still walking. I'm only counting actual walks and runs, to force myself to motivate a little better... meanwhile, I might be Meandering to Mordor, or Moseying to Mordor...

    20 miles from the Black Riders.

    "What's for dinner, Sam?"
    "Midge soup, followed by braised midge."
    "And for dessert?"
    "Midge Surprise."

    I think I'm finally out of my flare-up after over a month. Slow going, but hopefully, I'll be able to get to where I was before.

    1.6 Miles yesterday

    7.15 Miles to Trollshaws

    Fingers crossed for you! Tx
