http://home.insightbb.com/~eowynchallenge/Walk/walk.htmlOk its getting on Fall and soon we will all be trapped indoors, so I offer this challenge to you. Try walking to Rivendell, the Milage anyway...
Walk, run, hike, bike, blade, swim - if you can measure the distance, you can do this challenge. Keep a log, and record your daily or weekly miles and the type of exercise. For walkers and hikers, you might want to invest in a walking meter, they look like wristwatches. Otherwise, you can estimate your distance at 1 mile for every 20 minutes of brisk walking on a flat surface. Our original suggested deadline was the opening of The Return of the King, December 17, 2003. As this glorious day is now past, we are setting new goals, new times:
If you would like to set a long term distance goal, choose any one of the following:
THE LORD OF THE RINGS:
458 miles: Go from Hobbiton to Rivendell.
462 miles: Set out with the Fellowship from Rivendell to Lothlorien.
389 miles: Travel through Moria and down the Anduin from Lothlorien to Rauros Falls.
355 miles: Follow the path of Merry and Pippin from Rauros to Isengard.
484 miles: Follow the path of Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli from Rauros to Isengard.
470 miles: Follow Frodo and Sam on the quest from Rauros to Mt. Doom.
517 miles: Ride with Gandalf and Pippin from Isengard to Minas Tirith.
786 miles: Travel with Aragorn from Isengard to Dunharrow through the Paths of the Dead to Minas Tirith.
578 miles: Ride with Merry and the Rohirrim from Isengard to Dunharrow to Edoras to Minas Tirith.
138 miles: Follow Aragorn from Minas Tirith to the Morannon.
120 miles: Return for Aragorn’s crowning from the Morannon to Minas Tirith.
1625 miles: Take the road home with the hobbits from Minas Tirith to Hobbiton.
Even cooler you can keep track of your trip here... or at least see if you could have kept up with Sam and Frodo...
