Return To Rivendell

I've tried to think where a quartet of Hobbits would go if they were fleeing the Shire and needed to stay off the roads and I am left with one path, through the Old Forest.  The Brandybucks have long maintained a gate into the Forest and with luck it will not be difficult to sneak in that way.  With luck of course. 

Fortunately when I arrived the gate was not locked, so I was not forced to force or break the lock.  In the pre-dawn the Old Forest does not look much a threat and I move as quickly as I can.  

I shall camp tonight on the top of this knoll, though I am sure I will get little sleep.
