Walk To Rivendell" aka "The Eowyn Challenge" - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm new to this forum stuff so bear with me....I found this Walk to Rivendell idea just this past Friday April 2nd and it blew me away. I've been wanting to get in shape again and this is the perfect thing. I'm a HUGE LotR fan and I'm pretty excited about doing this. I did a lot of surfing and I was sorry to see on some forums that some people had stopped because they didn't make the release of RotK goal. As far as I'm concerned, ANY day is a GOOD day to go to Rivendell!!

Anyway, I've just started. Got my maps all photocopied on Saturday (I KNEW I bought that book for a reason!) and I walked yesterday and today. I've said my last farewell to Hobbiton (and even posted Ted Nasmith's beautiful painting called "Last Sight of Hobbiton" as my wallpaper). So I'm wondering, are there any other folks just starting out? Those of you already in Lothlorien, great work! You'll be in Morder throwing your "ring" (whatever addiction, negativity or whatever you choose) in no time!

Cheers and I hope to see you on the road!
