The Walk to Rivendell and Beyond is a great site that my wife (Lisa) just mentioned. It seems that she is reading something on her Food Diary site and someone there mentioned wanting to do the walk or at least seeing if anyone else is interested in it or what they think about it. I’ll admit that I’m intrigued… Anyway, just so people know what type of walking we are talking about:
