Eruhen has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

The Captains of the West marched to the Black Gate at the north of Mordor, where Frodo, Sam and Gollum had originally tried to get into the Black Land. Now, Minas Morgul and Minas Tirith had originally been Minas Ithil and Minas Anor, and were only about 25 or 20 miles apart. The Tower of Cirith Ungol had been a fortress that the Men of Gondor had built at the top of the Pass of Cirith Ungol, which was the higher pass out of Morgul Vale. So, after one passes Morgul, you could try to go straight past Minas Morgul (and probably get captured and tortured) and take the lower pass into Mordor, or you could turn left immediately after the bridge over the Morgulduin, pass through the fields of Morgul Vale, and take the Steep Stair over the Ered Lithui and pass by the Tower of Cirith Ungol and go down into Mordor. If you can get past Shelob [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] .
