Give them a moment, for pity’s sake!

Stop to vent grief checkpoint

1351.84 kilometres into the Walk to Mordor challenge.

27 March, 2013.

My progress has slowed a little lately. I’ve stopped using the exercise bike while a rash on my leg is healing (seems like the fabric on some of my shorts was irritating my skin), so it’s just been my daily walking. And I haven’t been super active over the last week or two because uni assessment is starting to ramp up. But I’m now on mid-semester break, and my rash is healing pretty well. Looking forward to catching up on uni work and sleep over the next week or so.

Hollin Ridge checkpoint

1110.43 kilometres into the Walk to Mordor challenge.

6 March, 2013.

Last year this 360.49 kilometre leg took me seven weeks. Starting back at uni and having the exercise bike means that I was able to tackle this in a little under three weeks. I love that it takes, like, a minute for the Fellowship to get to Hollin Ridge when it’s the longest leg in the entire journey. 

Hollin Ridge was a western outlier of the Misty Mountains roughly halfway between the Bruinen and the Sirannon … The ridge was low, topped by ancient holly-trees, and marked the northern border of the long-lost Elven kingdom of Eregion (also known as Hollin).

‘Bree (The Prancing Pony)’ checkpoint - 217.25 kilometres into the Walk to Mordor challenge.

I feel like it took forever to get here, even though I’m pretty much on schedule.  My aim was to get to the ‘Midgewater Marshes’ checkpoint before the end of February, and barring serious injury or torrential flooding, I should be there in plenty of time :)

To commemorate my Walk to Mordor, I think I shall get myself these, along with the Mordorable! t-shirt :)
