Characters - even armies on foot - certainly seem to traverse long distances quickly
…even considering they have have swift steeds/rabbits. Middle Earth must be smaller than I had believed from reading the books.
shareThis is a good point. Do we actually get a good indication from the books or the movies the distance or time spent traveling?
I always assumed that they spent quite a good deal traveling (weeks or even months), we just didn't see it.
if I remember correctly, I think it was a 11 month journey to Mordor.
shareYes, but Gandalf crisscrosses Middle Earth on various errands during this time, only to arrive in Mordor at the same time as Frodo and Sam. Also, Saruman’s army marches from Isengard to Helm’s Deep in what seems like mere days.
