this isn't really a reply and i'm sure everyone has their own opinion but here's how i did it.

After departing Húrin gathered a few men who, fearing the end of Brethil and desiring to flee further from Morgoth as well as having no homes or lands of their own, were willing to go with him. Húrin seemed to pick up strength and youth. Vengeance seemed to have heartened him, and he walked now strongly. At the Taiglin crossing they gathered the last fugitives of the wood-men (the kin of the folk of Brethil) and fell in with Asgon, who had heard rumour of the wild deeds in Brethil, and of Húrin's coming, and was now venturing back into the land to seek him. Asgon greeted Húrin and though glad that Hardang had been punished he was angered that no one had told Húrin of their coming. As they went on they chose Asgorn for captain, but he treated Húrin as lord, and he ever deferred to him asking, ‘Whither shall we go?’

Now Húrin elected to cross over Teiglin and passed southwards down the ancient road that led to Nargothrond; and he saw far off to the eastward the lonely height of Amon Rûdh, and knew what had befallen there. At length he came to the banks of Narog, and ventured the passage of the wild river upon the fallen stones of the bridge, as Mablung of Doriath had ventured it before him; and he stood before the broken Doors of Felagund, leaning upon his staff.
