We have started to walk faster, because Aragorn says the Black Riders are near. We had fish for dinner last night, and fish for breakfast this morning. And if I ever get back to the Shire, I never want to see a fish again!

I have walked 235 miles.
I have passed a small stream coming down from the Weather Hills (228).
It is 11 miles to the next landmark.
I still have 223 miles to Rivendell.

The hills drew nearer. They made an undulating ridge, often rising almost to a thousand feet, and here and there falling again to low clefts or passes leading into the eastern land beyond. Along the crest of the ridge the hobbits could see what looked to be the remains of green-grown walls and dikes, and in the clefts there still stood the ruins of old works of stone. By night they had reached the feet of the westward slopes, and there they camped. It was the night of the fifth of October, and they were six days out from Bree.

Just for fun, I went to count all of the walkers for the B-D. We have 21 walkers, with a total of 158 shields! Go B-D!!!!
