Setting out for Mordor again

[valarltd]

You have walked 5 miles.
You have passed Bywater.
It is 2 miles to the next landmark.
You have 453 miles to reach Rivendell.

Little of all this, of course, reached the ears of ordinary hobbits. But even the deafest and most stay-at-home began to hear queer tales; and those whose business took them to the borders saw strange things. The conversation in The Green Dragon at Bywater, one evening in the spring of Frodo's fiftieth year, showed that even in the comfortable heart of the Shire rumours had been heard, though most hobbits still laughed at them.

I need to pass this link along to J - he's such an enormous Tolkien fan that this would really appeal to him with our exercise plan.
