The Nazgul encamped at Sarn Ford. "The Rangers barred their way; but it was a task beyond the power of the Dunedain..." Unfinished tales, page 356.

Second version: page 364: "But the black captain established a camp at Andrath where the Greenway passed in a defile between the Barrow Downs and the South Downs." It continues, to note that the Black Captain stayed there several days:
Quote:
...and the Barrow-wights were roused, and all things of evil spirit, hostile to Elves and Men, were on the watch with malice in the Old Forest and On the Barrow-downs.
Looking at the Map, Sarn Ford looks like more than a days' march. (Days' march to whom? The Nazgul on hurseback or the rangers?) (Where's Andrath exactly?)

Anyway, somebody should turn that into an RPG for sure. Or at least a fanfic...
