Walk to Rivendell

Tour by Ranger Jewel

47-50 Miles

Now we'll follow our friends to Buckleberry. We're about 20 miles from the Buckleberry Ferry. Frodo decided to cut cross country to the Ferry, though Pippen warns that "Short cuts make long delays."

Tie your shoes and grab your stick. If we follow the hobbits we're in for some hard hiking! "There were no paths in the undergrowth, and they did not get on very fast." Hopefully we won't get as hot, wet, scratched and muddy as the hobbits!
