With caffeine, all things are possible. The pity of Bilbo will screw up the fate of many.

Walk to Rivendell....and beyond!

Good morning, fellow travelers! I hope your walks are going well. I'm actually doing this on a Thursday morning like I'm supposed to, and you can thank the Reading Room for that, since I'm also leading a discussion of The Hobbit "Roast Mutton" this week. I've also made a lot of progress with my friends Frodo, Sam and Gollum. We have crossed into the northern parts of Ithilien, and it's like coming home. My quote is the first description of Ithilien from TTT "Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit", and it's also on the "postcard" that I use for my avatar: a fair country of climbing woods and swift-falling streams. I'd like to walk there today. Where is your "happy place" or where are you on the walk? Tell us about it, and have a great week! Don’t forget to update your mileage on the Shields page. Be sure to keep a paper record of your miles, as there is always the potential for the Shields page to crash (again). And see you in Rivendell!!!! Explanatory note: The Eowyn Challenge/ Walk to Rivendell (and beyond) is a LOTR-related fitness walk thingy that began in March 2003, and that has been going on with walkers around the world ever since. The idea is to keep track of your mileage as you walk, and soon you will find yourself traversing the 458 miles to Rivendell. The walk is open to all. Keeping a goal date in mind can be useful for some, others are happy taking the scenic route and getting to Rivendell eventually. The website for the Walk explains things far more coherently than I can; please check out the link below, especially the main page and the Walk page. Lots of useful links, including wonderful mileage charts compiled by the late Karen Wynn Fonstad, can be found on the Tools page. The TORn Walk to Rivendell thread can usually be found right here on Main, on Thursdays. Walk to Rivendell: http://www.eowynchallenge.net
Where's Frodo?
