You have walked 7 miles.
You have reached Last View of Hobbiton (7).
It is 11 miles to the next landmark.
You still have 451 miles to Rivendell.

"As they began to climb its first slopes they looked back and saw the lamps in Hobbiton far off twinkling in the gentle valley of the Water. Soon it disappeared in the folds of the darkened land, and was followed by Bywater beside its grey pool. When the light of the last farm was far behind, peeping among the trees, Frodo turned and waved a hand in farewell."

Frodo and Sam are great company and we are well on our way. Leaving Hobbiton was the hardest thing I've ever done, but it is something I have to do. The journey will be hard, but the reward, great!

Thank you all for your welcome! It's great to feel a part of a community, even though I am starting so late. Your journeys inspired me to reach the first major landmark on my very first day. Watch out.. Middle-earth, I'm coming through!!
