Walk to Rivendell

Tour by Ranger Jewel

115-119 Miles

The hobbits were still on their ponies as they set out from their close call on the Downs. They also had the jolly company of Tom Bombadil and his pony, Fatty Lumpkin. We'll enjoy each other's company as we hike the Downs.

This is an easy trek. The land has flattened and we're still walking on the low, springy grass. The sun is warm as we continue to work our way east toward the Road.
