Not really good walking weather here in the Chetwood today...thunderstorms with lots of lightning and rain. There were definitely fell voices on the air! Good thing I finally found the path, or I might have been washed away. Where are you, Strider?
--------------------
However, in the meanwhile, walking was not unpleasant. Indeed, if it had not been for the disturbing events of the night before, they would have enjoyed this part of the journey better than any up to that time. The sun was shining, clear but not too hot. The woods in the valley were still leafy and full of colour, and seemed peaceful and wholesome. Strider guided them confidently among the many crossing paths, although left to themselves they would soon have been at a loss. He was taking a wandering course with many turns and doublings, to put off any pursuit.
