The skies are still overcast, but Strider kept us going in fear of the Black Riders. Rain poured when we started our walking today, but it has slackened and stopped now.

We have walked 328 miles.
We are still south of the Road (328).
It is 14 miles to the next landmark.
We still have 130 miles to Rivendell.

At the end of the fifth day the ground began once more to rise slowly out of the wide shallow valley into which they had descended. Strider now turned their course again north-eastwards, and on the sixth day they reached the top of a long slow-climbing slope, and saw far ahead a huddle of wooded hills. Away below them they could see the Road sweeping round the feet of the hills; and to their right a grey river gleamed pale in the thin sunshine. In the distance they glimpsed yet another river in a stony valley half-veiled in mist.
