I think that all of the hobbits were blimmin brave. They've never really known adventure or proper danger, and suddenly they're being hunted by terrifying black riders and they've got no proper survival or self-defence skills. And then Frodo's descision to carry on alone with such a terrible burden, and Sam following him into one of the most terrible places in Middle Earth. Then there's Merry, going off to fight with Rohan, and Pippin fighting at the Black Gate. They all just keep going and don't let fear get to them, and do things that hobbits would never be expected to do. So all in all, the hobbits were made of very 'stern stuff'indeed!

And perhaps he didn’t know much about the risk but I always thought that Fatty Bolger impersonating Frodo was pretty brave, as was his escape from the Black Riders.
Too right, I'd have been terrified!
