Maybe Menegroth?

None of those. The Dark Wood isn't Dimholt... it's a lot further north than that. But it's south of the Old Forest.

OK...

If we assume... NEVER ASSUME... still if we assume that we have the right city, river and bridge... We travel West / left - from the Old Ford on Anduin All the past Rivendell, Amon Sûl and most of the Shire. Then we stop when we're on a North/South line with Eryn Vorn "The black Wood". From there we turn towards the Northeast and travel another 150 miles until we get our feet weet in Lake Evendim

.... is that it?

That's correct - your turn.

This one, much inspired by Firefoot, souldn’t be too easy...

You stand on “the head of black magic” and travel in a true line toward the “golden-brown head”. When you reach the third river on you path you find a boat and sail down stream until you sense that straight south of you, is the place where the young warrior of the north swore a great oath. From there you turn straight Eastward untill you’re north of the place that the Gorgûn filth name Lugbúrz. Feeling the dread of that place you travel north. You reach yet another river which you follow upstream untill you’re straight south of the last home of the last dragon. Now being weary of your long travels, you feel the call of the Sea, and you travel West until you reach it. Name the water before you, and tell me how you got there...

I start at Dol Guldur, heading in the direction of Dol Baran and cross the Anduin, Limight, and Ondlo. I sail down the Ondlo until I am directly north of the spot in Firien Wood where Eorl swore his Oath to Cirion. Going straight east I end up in Ered Lithui where I am north of Barad-dur. From there I travel north to the River Running which I take upstream to the Long Lake, south of the former home of Smaug. After all this travelling, I decide to just shoot straight west until I end up in Forlindon looking towards Tol Morwen on the Great Sea.

Myself, I ended up looking at the Gulf of Lhûn - The thread is yours
