125-129 Miles
We reach the Great East Road and follow it east toward Bree. The Road wasn't in the best
repair when Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin jogged along this way on their ponies. "It was rutted and bore many signs of the recent heavy rain; there were pools and potholes full of water."
We'll have to watch our step!
