Sting "Walk To Crickhollow" aka "The Fatty Bolger Challenge"

This thread is for those who are walking on the Barrow-Downs, but are too busy or lazy to walk all the way to Rivendell!

Those silly people in that OTHER thread are going to walk a whole 458 MILES, whoa whoa whoa! Come on now, don't kid yourself, if you're anything like me, (and I know you are) you'll never make it.

But with this challenge you only have to walk 73 miles! And you can still reward yourself with a HUGE chocolate sunday! mmmm-mmmmm

SO lets get out there and make Fatty proud!

I will accept this challenge! 73 miles is perfect, as I don't want to lose my shape (that being round). Thank you Mho, for giving me this inspiration. Or was it I who inspired you? That's all I have to say, i must get up and start my walking now.

Where would I be without you Mho? Even if you are making fun of me.

Mho, sometimes you're just such a doggone cutie that you rival burra himself.

I hate to go off topic, but how does this rival anything that I have ever done?

Cuteness, burra. It's all about cuteness. Mho's got you on this one.

Me either.


But who wouldn't love to take the Frodo challenge?

(Approximately) 1000 miles from hobbiton to Orodruin. Middle-Earth is much smaller than it seems. One thousand miles is a little more than walking from Chicago to Denver... I think I'll stick with the Gaffer's Challenge. I'm off to the garden.

I am happy to say that I finally made it past Crickhollow!

I know that I won't make it to Rivendell by Dec, but I might before the DVD Release in Aug [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

BWAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!! This is great! Makes me feel better for being only 47 miles along on the road to Rivendell! I could just stop in at Crickhollow (when my lazy legs get me there!) and hang out with Fatty Bolger until the Ringwraith knocks on the door...uh, on the other hand, I think I'll start running to get to Rivendell on time! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

And I think I read somewhere the Frodo Baggins challenge to Orodruin would be close to 1600 miles. Don't quote me on this though!

Cheers,
Lyta
