I didn't really feel up to walking today but I couldn't bear the thought of spending another night with those midges. It feels good to be on firm ground again. Strider spotted some hobbit tracks just as we came to the edge of the Marsh. With my elven sight, I was able to spot the tiny figure of Peony almost 8 leagues ahead (23 miles). I don't think we'll be able to catch up with her...she's moving mighty fast.

They had not gone far on the fifth day when they left the last straggling pools and reed-beds of the marshes behind them. The land before them began steadily to rise again. Away in the distance eastward they could now see a line of hills.
