Well, it's been awhile since I've been here, but I have been walking as faithfully as possible! The holidays are a very busy time for me, so I've walked less than I wanted to, but that's okay! I'm getting back to walking as much as possible as soon as Christmas is over.
You have walked 18 miles.
You have reached Green Hill Country (18).
It is 9 miles to the next landmark.
You still have 440 miles to Rivendell.
After some time they crossed the Water, west of Hobbiton, by a narrow plank-bridge. The stream was there no more than a winding black ribbon, bordered with leaning alder-trees. A mile or two further south they hastily crossed the great road from the Brandywine Bridge; they were now in the Tookland and bending south-eastwards they made for the Green Hill Country. As they began to climb its first slopes they looked back and saw the lamps in Hobbiton far off twinkling in the gentle valley of the Water. Soon it disappeared in the folds of the darkened land, and was followed by Bywater beside its grey pool. When the light of the last farm was far behind, peeping among the trees, Frodo turned and waved a hand in farewell.

"Rivendell!" said Frodo. "Very good: I will go east, and I will make for Rivendell. I will take Sam to visit the Elves; he will be delighted."
