Day 6
Leave Tom’s house and climb zig-zag path to brow of hill on west side of Barrow-downs (ca. 9 a.m.). On ponies go up steep slopes and down long limbs. No trees or water. Turn more east than they intend and enter the Barrow-downs, a place of great dread: inhabited by evil Barrow-wights from Angmar (R. Foster)

I haven’t added in any of my miles from Fit Club. Shame on me. It’s easily 20, probably more like 30, but I will use the 20 to be on the safe side.

Reach Tom Bombadil’s house. Stars are out (ca. 7 p.m.).
I rather like the running. I should try to do a better job of sticking with it. It’s just so hot out!

After a turnip field there is a stout gate to a rutted lane, edged by hedges.
I am in the fields of Farmer Maggot. A mere 10.5 miles until I reach Crickhollow. I haven’t even left the Shire! Drat these sturdy, fast hobbits.
