We returned to the Great East Road, crossed River Hoarwell/Mitheithel, turned north from the road, and entered the steep lands of Trollshaws (complete with ruined walls and frowning towers).
(Everything seems to have happened all at once! Were less than a hundred miles from our destination! Even so, it seems amazing that we're still so far from Rivendell. The movie must really condense this part of the story, and it's been so long since I read the book that I don't remember much of the parts not in the movie.)
