Was Tolkien a Hiker? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I haven't read Letters, but Tolkien never falls into the trap of the ever-handy 'cave' to sleep in; fires go out or can't be lit at all; bugs exist and harry pathetic traveller/victims; the weather is a constant source of happiness or misery; food a primal concern; terrain effects travel time; people who don't know where they're going get lost, every time. Sounds like my backpack trips.

Mr. U.: yab-yum? Familiar with karma yoga/Annuttaratantra?
