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!

Taking the main road north from the Ferry, Buck Hill is on the left and Buckleberry on the right. They take a lane to the right, and climb up and down into the country.

Finally made it past the ferry.

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.
