Alright, Esty, I know this is late, but I'd like to protest your mention of a "comparable Tolkien forum" on the grounds that there isn't one currently in existence. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
As for walking, I finally took my leave of Tom and Goldberry (and my eardrums are grateful for the rest, I've been with them for far too long!) and have made my merry way up to the Barrow-Downs.
The X Phial will be absolutely delighted to hear that on my arrival there, I promptly rescued four of those strange and rare creatures called "Poophobbits" from an attacking Barrow-Wight. I was wearing yellow rubber boots, and I think the mean creature mistook me for Bombadil, standing there atop his barrow...
So, with the Barrow-Downs safely behind me I'm turning toward the road, and hope to be arriving in Bree within the next few weeks. However unlikely that may be, I will continue to hold out hope [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img].
