I hear what you are saying, Kalimac, and I agree. You could maybe give him an extra week on Orthanc by assuming that Gwaihir just flies Gandalf to Rivendell. So that's two weeks atop Orthanc. Is that enough time for Saruman to construct the forges and caverns under Isengard? I don't know. They could have been there for a long time but he only started venting them to the surface recently.<P>I really think Pelennor is not repairable. You simply can't get the Rohirrim to Minas Tirith in only three days and Aragorn there in five without making ridiculous assumptions like them galloping for 16 hours a day.<P>Maybe the Eagles carried them too. <P>H.C.
