On the matter of the north kingdom.. Due to the difference in the start of the Fourth Age in the Shire and Gondor - I am not sure if 1436SR is FA 15 or 14 ... The year of course is when Elessar rides North to dwell by Lake Evendim for a while. Even if it is FA 15 there surely would be a certain amount of preparatory to-ing and froing along the Greenway which might be utilised?
I don't think this has been mentioned already but I may well have missed it
