Rivendell to the Grey Havens (while the nazgul are in disarray and horseless). Then take a ship (hugging the coast---it's a medieval world traveling wise, so traveling by sea near the coast tends to be the fastest and safest way to travel. Go past the Isen (no further because of the threat from Corsairs) and then either travel across south Rohan (hugging the White Mountains) or cross Andrast and thru south Gondor. Cross the Anduin and then perhaps go around south Mordor or through another pass. Biggest immediate problems are crossing the Great River and dealing with Rohan or Gondor authorities---but they'd have Gandalf, Aragorn, and Boromir.

Whichever road they took, was there any realistic possibility of this being kept hidden from Sauron & Saruman? Both would have had spies covering all routes, and both would have assumed Gandalf was taking the Ring to Minas Tirith. They may as well have been escorted by a large army to Lorien if there was no hope of secrecy. The events in Moria would have certainly rang alarm bells in the Dark Tower as to the whereabouts of the Ring pretty quick. I have dealt with this in other posts earlier, so I do not wish to repeat myself. Last edited by Moonraker; 08-03-2014 at 07:59 AM. |

"Dealing with" it in your original post would have been much better. As carpenters say: measure twice and cut once.
