I have been traveling with the Grey Company on the trail of the Fellowship. The miles are long in the land of Eregion which is also known as Hollin. There are few landmarks to remark upon and the Company is largely subdued. There are only a few signs of the passing of the Fellowship and those seem set only for a Ranger's eyes.

I have at last reached the Elf haven of Rivendell! It has been a very long journey and I am much relieved to have finally reached my goal.

I have arranged for a meeting with Lord Elrond and have already learned that the Hobbits did arrive safely (well relatively speaking) and have left on some quest.

(Eowyn Challenge, Bag End to Rivendell 458 miles, 458 miles done. I started this on Sep. 29, 2008. 2009 was my worst year of walking since I started tracking these things. I'm hoping the journey to Lothlorien goes a bit faster.)

Current Mood: hungry

I have been walking through the Old Forest which is oppressive and strange and it is difficult to keep up my spirits (and continue to track the Hobbits through the closely forested wood). After a time I finally come to the River Withywindle and Old Man Willow which tries to eat me. I contemplate retaliation when Tom Bombadil arrives.

Current Mood: chipper

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.

My travels in the last few days have brought me to the end of the woods and into some farmlands. I've passed through turnip fields (which can be quite lovely with enough butter and cheese) and have met and talked with Farmer Maggot. He is most closed-mouthed and I am certain he is keeping something from me. Perhaps the whereabouts of Frodo and his companions. I bid him good-day and headed on to take the Buckleberry Ferry across the river. At last I've arrived at Crickhollow only to find the house abandoned. I am most disturbed and uncertain of my further road.

I have been remiss in recording my walking adventures. In the last weeks I have escaped from a Black Rider (though I am not at all certain that he was after me in the woods), encountered a traveling group of Elves and broken bread (well, waybread) with them, and continued on towards Crickhollow.

Current Mood: busy

I am much disturbed! I met a rider on the road, all dressed in black and his very presence chilled me right to the bone. He asked in a voice most dreadful about Baggins and I, not at all liking his demeanor, answered that he should seek them elsewhere. I am still filled with dread even hours after his departure and fear what Frodo may have gotten himself into. I must pick up my pace and find him the sooner.

I am still walking up and down hills in the lovely Green Hill Country. Today I passed by a number of Hobbit children playing at games in a clearing. It was quite charming. I have plans to make an early stop today and spend some time with my pen and brush inspired by the beauty of the Shire.

Current Mood: Ready to get Started!

I have reached the Green Hill Country and my path takes me now up and down the rolling hills and dales of the Shire countryside. It is quite lovely. In the morning it is cool and a light dew covers all and creates sparkles in the wonders of natures.

Current Mood: content

It was cool this morning when I set out from my camp, but the day became hot and dry as the sun rose high. I shall try making better time in the morning and early evening and spending the hottest part of the day sewing 'pon a new kirtle. I've reached the Stock Road and will camp here for the night.

Current Mood: sleepy

I left Bag End, jumped over the hedge and began to make my way out of Hobbiton towards Crick Hollow. The heat of the day has faded and it is a cool pleasant time to walk. I make it about 7 miles, looking back to the light of Hobbiton as I make camp on the lower slopes of Green Hill Country.

Current Mood: tired

I arrived in Hobbiton this morning intending a brief visit with Frodo Baggins only to discover (at the end of a broom!) that he has left the Hobbiton and taken a house in Crickhollow and his former home is now populated by the most unpleasant Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.

I shall seek him out in Crickhollow.
