At the unexpected party, when the dwarves first came to Bilbos house to find their fourteenth member, they all brought out musical instruments to play. Bombur played the drum.

<img src="http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/posticons/sting.jpg" align=absmiddle> Lond Daer

Lond Daer was, if I remember right, a port made by the Numenoreans in west Eriador, Proberly on Grey Flod. It was a Harbour for outshipping timber fron ME to Numenor. In later years it was abadoned by the Nomenoreans, partly due to the unfriendlyness of the original inhabitants of the area an because larger areas in Numenor had been planted with trees, as is describes in the tale of Aldariion and Erendis in UT.

This is out of my head, as I dont have my books available - so I might by of by a league...

Rainbow cleft is correct - so Tuor called the cleft he came into after passing through the Gate of the Noldor.

It is the island where the hill of Himring used to be. Or just an earlier form of the name Himring.

You're probably right. According to my map, it's just an Island way up north-west of the shire, west of Ered Luin. Go ahead.
