You have walked 66 miles.
You have reached Buckleberry Ferry (66).
It is 7 miles to the next landmark.
You still have 392 miles to Rivendell.

They turned down the Ferry lane, which was straight and well-kept and edged with large white-washed stones. In a hundred yards or so it brought them to the river-bank, where there was a broad wooden landing-stage. A large flat ferry-boat was moored beside it. The white bollards near the water's edge glimmered in the light of two lamps on high posts. Behind them the mists in the flat fields were now above the hedges; but the water before them was dark, with only a few curling wisps like steam among the reeds by the bank. There seemed to be less fog on the further side.

Ah, it's going to be quite a long haul, I'm afraid. To tell you the truth, I've hardly walked at all since school started, but we have a demon volleyball coach who makes us run 3 miles a practice. My milage has actually almost doubled since I started volleyball!
