Lostgaeriel has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

Just FYI: The Sword Master's name is Bob Anderson.<P>He's legendary: stunt work on <I>From Russia With Love</I>, <I>The Empire Strikes Back</I>, <I>The Return of the Jedi</I>; fencing coach on <I>Barry Lyndon</I> and Sword Master on <I>Highlander</I>, <I>The Three Musketeers</I>, and <I>The Mask of Zorro</I>. (according to tLotR Offical Movie Guide) I've also read in magazine interviews that he was on the British Olympic fencing team and coached Errol Flynn at some point. So when Bob Anderson credits Viggo Mortensen with being his best student, that's saying something. (Viggo kept his sword with him at all times. Got stopped by the cops as he headed out to his car one morning carrying it! )
