Ah, right. That would be my super cheeky version, which in fact doesn't need to go through Aredhel, Idril, or even Turgon: the laws of Gondolin say that no-one leaves, which means Celebrimbor would have met Maeglin directly.
The route I first thought of was Narvi-Celebrimbor-Finrod-Ulmo-Tuor-Maeglin, which is definitely beaten by either of yours (you can actually skip Celegorm on your first one - Curufin talks directly to Eol). So I think I'll pass it over to you at this point.
(I also had one which took advantage of the theory that all the Durins are the same person to go Narvi->Durin III/IV->The Balrog->Morgoth->Maeglin... ^_^)
Over to you,
Urwen!
