Raincloak Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Scouts and Adventurers would probably smoke the rest of the NFers, because they do more distance. But it sounds like fun.

Rebel Pilot Gar Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 A part of me wants to ask, so where are we walking next? Just sayingI haven't been logging miles or anything with you guys, but I'm trying to figure out ways to map out miles for a Pokemon themed walk. Definitely won't be as long as the walk to Mordor, but if I get something that works, maybe I'll post it on the threads for more nerd access Background is I'm trying to get my little bro more active, but he's not a fan of Lord of the Rings (I'm working on it). Though he loves Pokemon so I figured I could make one we could do together through google docs while I'm at school. Walk through Kanto and trace the path done in the games or whatever, still working through the details.

Bulbapedia has speculation on the actual towns, so I was thinking of just google mapping distances between the speculative towns and seeing if that worked...

danfindley Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 ...and we're home again. Go team! 3 weeks. Not a bad effort. Link to comment
Raincloak Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The distances in the spreadsheet are probably from the "Walking to Rivendell" website, here. That site in turn is based on the "Atlas of Middle Earth" which is a book somebody put together based on the maps, notes, etc. from the "Lord of the Rings" books. Personally, I think the "Atlas" conclusions -- that hobbits 3 feet tall and unused to travel are marching 25 miles a day in rough terrain -- stretches credibility a bit. But what the heck, it's fantasy. Hobbits are said to be tougher than humans and they're better at traveling in natural environments, so why not. Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

Elastigirl Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 If hobbits can walk that far after a lifetime of inactivity and second breakfasts and elevenses, imagine what they could do (and look like) if they worked out.
