They had not gone far on the fifth day when they left the last straggling pools and reed-beds of the marshes behind them. The land before them began steadily to rise again. Away in the distance eastward they could now see a line of hills. The highest of them was at the right of the line and a little separated from the others. It had a conical top, slightly flattened at the summit.
'That is Weathertop,' said Vardamar. 'The Old Road, which we have left far away on our right, runs to the south of it and passes not far from its foot. We might reach it by noon tomorrow, if we go straight towards it. I suppose we had better do so.'

219 miles now. I am now trudging through the Marshes. As you can gather from the excerpt, I have Weathertop in sight, 9 miles away.

On a side note, do any of the people with high mileage want to toughen up the challenge by attempting to reach Rivendell by the time the TTT DVD comes out?
