Walk To Rivendell" aka "The Eowyn Challenge"

[Alatáriël Lossëhelin]

Wow, it sure took a long time to reach the Road. But now we're only 8 miles from Bree...I think I'll join Goldberry at the Butterbur Day Spa & have a massage too.

Somehow I always thought Goldberry the white wine type.

That's just a front she puts on in public. She likes a pint of beer as well as (or better than) any hobbit I know.

...at last they saw a line of tall trees ahead, and they knew that they had come back to the Road after many unexpected adventures. They galloped their ponies over the last furlongs, and halted under the long shadows of the trees. They were on the top of a sloping bank, and the Road, now dim as evening drew on, wound away below them.
...They rode down the bank and looked up and down. There was nothing to be seen. 'Well, here we are again at last!' said Frodo. 'I suppose we haven't lost more than two days by my short cut through the Forest!'
...only now when it lay beneath their feet did they remember the danger which pursued them, and was more than likely to be lying in wait for them upon the Road itself. They looked anxiously back towards the setting sun, but the Road was brown and empty.
