Today it was the bike's turn to be taken out for a run. It was a lovely evening, so I bundled George and the camera into a rucksack and set off down the old railway line (now a walking and cycle trail). This is taken at the furthest point, a lovely picnic spot on a tiny promontory that gives a lovely view down the estuary towards Barmouth. ( More photos here... )

After the ride along the old railway line, carried on my back in a rucksack, George wanted to stretch his limbs with a spot of tree climbing.



I let George out of the rucksack to admire the view of the old wooden toll bridge that crosses the Mawddach Estuary by the George III Hotel, Penmaenpool.

I'm now in Rivendell. I feel really at home here and as you can see, they have Net access! Things have obviously moved on since Frodo's visit.

I am about to eat, but I just wanted to record my final mileage.

Walking to Rivendell

Miles cycled today: 13
Miles travelled so far: 458
Miles still to go: 0
Percentage complete: 100%

Whoopee!

This is I think the first day where I've recorded a mileage that's not too far off what the Hobbits were doing. :)

As I also walked to the Quaker meeting and back this morning, this also gives me 1 mile on the next leg, which is to Lothlorien.

Miles walked today: 1
Miles travelled so far from Rivendell: 1 (459 from Bag End)
Miles still to go: 461
Percentage complete: 0.2%
