Okay, if I could read a map this would probably be easier. I was getting completely ahead of myself and almost forgot that I have to get to the point where the Fellowship was broken before my decision to take off after Aragon or Pippin and Merry. (Thanks to the nice elf at the map store who set me right.)
I wound up leaving Lothlorien the afternoon of Day 48 and greatly enjoyed the ride, which is along the river, a course that lasted at least 90 miles. Tonight I’m camped at the point of their third day out from the elvish city, just where the trees are starting to thin and the Brown Lands are visible in the distance. I have about 10.7 miles tomorrow to actually finish up the total distance for that day, which will carry me to the flats north of the Field of Celebrant.
On the fourth day out they covered 60 miles, which I expect will take me part of at least two days depending on the weather.
