North, east, south, what?

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I got very confused in that scene where Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli meet Éomer. When Éomer leaves with his men he says "Look for your friends, but do not trust the hope. It has forsaken these lands <I>We ride north!!" </I>.<P>The Fellowship broke near of the falls of Rauros.A,L and G headed to the Fangorn forest after the Uruk-hai so they travelled to north-west (I'm looking at my M-E map now). They met Éomer somewhere near of Fangorn. In the movie A,L and G run across a hill and hide behind a rock. Rohirrim appear behind that hill (well, you know that scene) so they are riding south-east.<P>When they leave they don't head to north like Éomer said but something like to east or north-east. Am I a)wrong b)nit-picking or c)have I messed up with the point of the compass ? But that really confuses/annoys me.<P>I have noticed that the 'easterlings coming from south' thing have upset some of the Downers but I'm not participating in that conversation. But feel free to do so here.<P>ps.Legolas trips twice (or so it seems)<p>[ September 02, 2003: Message edited by: dancing spawn of ungoliant ]
