Hello, Linnamalle, and welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay here. You must have been walking for awhile now, to be over 300 miles. Keep up the good work! EDIT: I forgot to mention... I'll soon be going through this thread and updating the mileage list (see Esty[Estelyn Telcontar]'s post above), and I wonder if you would care to be put on the list, even if you aren't a member of a walking group? I saw that you had your mileage in your FROM: space and I didn't want to pass you by without asking you first.

Elessindil-bloodline, congratulations on reaching Rivendell! Many of us will be joining you soon, though I'm afraid I will be one of those who arrives last. You must realize though, that there's one dead place that we have travelled through that is home sweet home to us. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Can you guess? And are you, by any chance, one of those travellers who plan to walk to Mount Doom, or are your travellings done? Either way, you have done an excellent job! *applauds*

2 miles from the Great East Road and then it's on to Bree! Robin will be extremely happy to go there, even if it can be dark and sinister sometimes and there are a lot of Big Folk. She's been getting anxious to sleep on a real bed for once.

I think that many of the Neeker-breekers from the Marshes are migrating west along the road! Have no Hobbit inventions to keep them from biting us, Robin has taught me some secrets of a Hobbit medicine that will soothe the itching a bit. And it does help if you don't scratch, she tells me.... if it is possible to resist the temptation!

Recently for our breakfast Robin has been cooking some Hobbit bread made from some strange kind of fruit that rather resembles bananas. And for dinner? Ah, we eat those ridiculously long sandwiches that Tolkien so despised, as he mentions in a letter to Zimmerman. Well, at least they provide you with energy for the 316 miles more to Rivendell!
