adventure party Walk to Mordor and Back Again in 2024

[DarK_RaideR]

As expected, this past weekend I made it to Rivendell!

 

Doing no more intentional walking besides my daily stride to and from work, it took me little less than 5 months to cover the distance those fithy hobbitses did in a mere 27 days. Although admittedly, they had little else to do each day besides march forward, and some of that distance was done on ponies.

 

I've caught up on my LotR audiobooks too, just finished the merry making aspect of the Rivendell stay. Next up is the council of Elrond, where so many memes were born

Hi, hope you're all well and you're enjoying your walking adventures!

 

I edited the template sheet and the first post here quick - I've been getting 5+ access requests each day for the template sheet. Super minor thing but would prefer to not, so if anyone does want to use the template please just make sure to go to FILE --> Make a copy instead of requesting access to the template sheet. If this amount of requests keeps up (it may be bots from google for all I know!) I'll just move the template to an account I don't use daily and update the link

What's the link you're getting requests for?
I'm pretty sure that the one we use is a copy of a copy of a copy of your original.  

Also, we haven't really added anyone new in the last six months or so, so I expect that those requests are bots.

It's the template to be copied off of each year that's linked to in the first post of this thread - it's linked to in quite a few different spots over the years so why I didn't just move it and update the link   If it's not bots, it's people wanting to copy the template for off-forum uses rather than people wanting to join the challenge here. I'd like to leave it up and available as it's a cool resource!

It's been a bit of slow-going since I've reported in, with some nice distance in spurts along the way.

I am still paddling along.

Banks grow stony. Hills north of the Emyn Muil rise on the east shore.

I have just crossed the Dead Marshes! Complete with seeing faces in the water, and hiding from a Nazgûl flying over.
