You have walked 100 miles.
You have passed the Bald Hill in the Old Forest (98).
It is 10 miles to the next landmark.
You still have 358 miles to Rivendell.
The old forest feels stiffening. The air seems thick and aged. But all around are tall thick old trees. So for him it’s not so much a burden. As long as he has his heavy pack of food and water he won’t need to stop long. Its growing later and later in the day. It’s taken so long to get only this far. But he’s still weary from the previous journey. Wandering isn’t as much fun as it used to be. Especially when he’s alone now.
The bald hill let him know that he has a couple days till the next landmark. And he should hurry to make his way to Rivendell. He didn’t have all the time in the world. He had just enough time to get to Rivendell. Still each day was wasting. He had would try and walk farther each day.
