Today is September 22nd the time to destroy the One Ring has come. You have until March 25th to walk the 1800 miles to Mount Doom.
>>76654359>Average walking speed is 3mph>1800/3=600>600 hours = 25 daysI'll start walking March 1st
>>76654359I'm just going to ride a giant eagle.
>>76655655Hats off to ya if you pull it off. I'm going for a much more manageable 10 miles a day. It gives me a couple days a leeway but I won't be spending 2 months in Rivendell.>>76655851Get that weak ass bird shit out of here! Boromir didn't want to walk and guess which member of the fellowship Tolkien killed off.
>>76655655i know you've never been on a hike before but you aren't hiking at 3mph. You'll at best do 2mph until you get your trail legs theres a reason the average thruhiker take 6 months as well
Maybe it's time to rewatch the trilogy. Last time I did one extended movie each treadmill session. It's been a few of years at this point.
Lord of the Rings is garbage for ugly nerds. Nobody with style gives a fuck about that shit.
>>76656687There there, here's your (you). Now go ahead and play with the other kids, the adults are talking.
>>76656683>a few of years
>>76654359>>76655655Legitimately there was a cool challenge pre-covid where you track your walking/steps/runs in a nice, pre-made excel sheet and it shows you how along the story you are. Was pretty cool, I'm sure its still around (it looks like someone made a shitty app out of it, but not sure if its any good). Used to walk 1hr to work/1hr back + training for a 10k (I was a fatty 10k was a lot) and it was a lot of fun.
>>76657151App wise there was Walk to Mordor that followed along the story but of fucking course you can't have free things because the people with the movie rights wanted to make money. So now it's gone and you can do the Lord of the Rings Conqueror Challenges. It will only cost you $200 if you buy all 5 at once. Now your best option app wise is Fantasy Hike that follows your trip from Hillside End to Mount Fire.
>>76657658>max 1 mile a day unless you pay
>>76657734I did say we can't have free things. Still $7 is a lot better than the $200 bullshit. No idea why anyone would do the subscription though, if you want to compete with friends just tell them how far you are. Don't know where to find the excel sheet that was talked about if your looking for free, but lotr project has a graph with the events that happened at different distances if you want to follow along that way. I'm off to do some more walking, I still have a long way to go.
>>76654359How long every day would I have to do this
>>76657828Depends on your speed and how you want to spread out the distance. Walking 10 miles a day would take 3-4 hours if you keep a good pace for the average person by the end you might enter speed walking territory and cut it down to 2-3 hours.This is of course for open road or treadmill walking, if you want to hike go ahead and double the time.
>>76656716Originally said a couple of years but it's been more than that so I corrected it and forgot to restructure the sentence, gomenasorry retard-kun.
>>76654359Lord of the rings is fucking cringeread the bible
>>76654359Isn't it 1800km?
>>76658019LOTR was inspired by the Bible>short, hairy men fighting over jewelryGet it together, man
>>76658019Get them both on as audio books and listen to them while walking. You'll have more than enough time to finish them.>>76658099Nope miles so just shy of 2897km
why are we all acting like they just had perfect conditions to waltz into mordor and into mt doom
>>76658484Well if you want to hike thru a forest, traverse the plains to reach another forest, climb halfway across a frozen mountain range then turn back and instead spelunk abandoned mines to reach even more forest on the other side of the range, float down a river, trudge through marsh land, cross a rocky mountain range into a barren wasteland, just to wind up at a very active volcano all while only stopping in 2 or 3 towns for rest and supplies be my guest.
>>76655655You are going to walk for 25 days straight?
>>76659037RivendellGaladriel's houseRohirrim townHelms deepSaruman's houseBack to rohirrim townWhite cityEagle back to white city
>>76659064Frido and Samwise split the group before Rohirrim, so yeah just a couple of rest stops. If you find a hermits shack you can spend on night there and you can steal from a militant group in the final stretch if you wish. I'm just going to do a ton of walking and lose some weight along the way.
>>76659273I think faramir gave them some free shit,Then there was that whole tower sam solo'd full of crap
>>76655655you're not going to sleep? they didn't have meth in middle earth>>76655851in the words of the great man himself, shut up>>76656687>>76658019you are uncivilised bugmen and will never make it>>76658106nigger
>>76654359i wanna walk from toronto to new york to tenochtitlan but i fear it's too late in the year to set off
