Hi Prefect,
Something I discovered which you may find interesting -
"If Hobbiton and Rivendell are taken (as intended) to be at about the latitude of Oxford, then Minas Tirith, 600 miles south, is at about the latitude of Florence. The Mouths of Anduin and the ancient city of Pelargir are at about the latitude of ancient Troy." (L294)
For further geographical comparrisons try here: http://rover.wiesbaden.netsurf.de/~l...kien/Grid.html
