Gollum... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gollum knew all the ins and outs of Moria under the Misty Mountains. Knew them better than any orc, or any throughout the caverns, save perhaps the Balrog.

He lived there 500 years. Sometimes we forget where Gollum lived, because Bilbo's experience of the Goblin king's realm in no way matches Moria. Probably a mines section rather than the Dwarf kingdom itself. Further north.

As far as the black bundle at the Ferry, I seriously doubt that was Gollum. The black rider hunched in exactly that way when he/it got off the horse closer to Hobbiton. Gollum could not have followed them through the old forest, and would have been spotted by the Elves, not to mention Aragorn and Gandalf, in Linden, the nearly empty lands between Moria and Rivendell. No. Gollum may have been sent to the Shire perhaps, in the hope his connection to the ring would helf the dark lord find it, but he lucked into them in Moria.
