Walk To Rivendell" aka "The Eowyn Challenge"

[Alatáriël Lossëhelin]

Well, that Bald Hill is definitely looking closer today! Still hoping to make it to Tom's by next weekend. I could reallllly use that hot bath...

I'm going to mutter something unofficial about a Walk To Mount Doom. I'll probably call it something different...? Something a little more appealing? The Ring Quest, or, I dunno. But I do imagine that there will be a few (perhaps more than a few) who do want to keep going.

What about the Walk to Mt. Doom? I’m undecided and was wondering how we all felt about it? Would we really try to get there all in one year? Ack! How many miles is it really? Has anyone figured it out? So many questions....

Well, if I added the mileage from my Atlas correctly, it's approximately 1,606 miles from Bag End to Mt. Doom. That's a whole lotta walkin'...shouldn't be a problem for Helen, Linzielf and some others. I'm not sure I can make it by December 17, but I'll give it my best shot. After all, Elves should be able to outwalk Hobbits, right? right? Well, maybe not outwalk, but at least keep up?? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

They now hurried forward again, delighted with the thought of climbing out for a while above the roof of the Forest. The path dipped, and then again began to climb upwards, leading them at last to the foot of the steep hillside. There it left the trees and faded into the turf. The wood stood all round the hill like thick hair that ended sharply in a circle round a shaven crown.
