H. Doesn’t Strider answer the question after first seeming not to? If Strider can walk, say, 20 miles a day, the distance is 240 miles, no?
I would guess that Strider could go at least 30 miles in a day, perhaps 40...
People can move at varying speeds depending on how good shape they are in and how much they are carrying. If he did not have to carry food, water, weapons, or heavy clothing, I imagine that Strider might well be able to run all day long for days on end. Hunter-gatherer tribesmen can go 100 miles in a day if they need to, and 50 is something they do routinely. Aragorn has to carry rations and weapons and whatnot, so he will not go that fast, but he could go a whole lot faster on his own than with four hobbits in tow, some of whom aren't accustomed to walking long distances at all.
A. Wouldn’t there be a construction road from the days of the tower that allowed an easier ascent than “plodding tired and breathless” up a steep and rocky slope?
I'm guessing that it was ruined in the wars with Angmar, and then ruined again when the Trollshaws took over the land to the east.
