DAY 15 – DOWN THE ANDUIN
We now must decide how to continue our adventure. We could maintain our easterly trek, through the forest of Mirkwood and then north toward Erebor. But there is so much left to see in Middle Earth toward the south as well, and our time is limited. After much thought, we opt to leave Beorn’s hall and head back to the Anduin, where we will take the boat south as far as the Gladden. Anduin’s waters are a dark, dark blue, cold and dangerous, but the risk is worth it as we take in the beauty along the shores as we go.
