First thank's for all your answers!
Now I made up my own theory:
Considering that the fellowship* only needed 17 or 18 days to Caradhras and about 5 more to Lothlorien. And then, despite battles and parleys, only one month to the great battle at Pelennor-fields.
I guess, that journey was possible within two month, even if you have to ask some people for the right way.
(* by the way: can Hobbits walk as fast as the big folk?)
But we don't know the exact way he took.
And maybe he asked Saruman and was betrayed. The roads seemed to be very dangerous, too.
A describtion of Eregion, after the Numenors and Gil-galad defeated Sauron, I found in UT (History of Galadriel and Celeborn):

But from then onwards the region fell quickly into decay; and long before the time of LotR had gone back into wild fenlands. When Boromir made his great jouney from Gondor to Rivendell - the courage and hardihood required is not fully recognized in the narrative - the North-South Road no longer existed except for the crumbling remains of the causeways, be which a hazardous approach to Tharbad might be archived, only to find ruins of the bridge, impassable if the river had not been ther slow and shallow - but wide.

I'm looking forward, to read other theories as well. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
