Hehe. I love that. It makes it sound like the Ringwraiths were only slightly put out by their experience at the Ford: "I say, Angmar old chap, that was a rather discomforting experience, don't you think?". [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

That's interesting. I hadn't noticed it before. I presume that it is Elrond speaking. Was he aware that the Nazgul might take to the air on winged beasts, or was this some kind of foresight on his part?
Gandalf's reasoning in heading south down the west side of the mountains and taking the Redhorn Pass to avoid going too close to Isengard makes perfect sense. But I am still sure that I have seen some reference to the High Pass being impassable ...
