Where the hike ends in a larder of Ol Tobby's...
AmityvilleHodor
"Bar crawling"... what you need are friends to do it with (ah-theng-you)
taksoto
Basically Appalachian trail. Those hillbillies are your barrow wights
chinesemario
And one of you gets fucking stabbed
SkinnerTBD
you can do that any time. wandering around getting wasted and doing shrooms gets people arrested though.
DavidHoag
And eating magic mushrooms.... nature and magic mushrooms walk hand in hand.
AvidApostate
Um...ya, trespassing on private property can be dangerous in some places.
MaintenanceGuyHere
This is a pub crawl, normally the battles involve stop signs and stairs
GTimgur
Umm... can I skip the Old Man Willow and Barrow Wights parts please?!
JustAnotherCynicToo
Summer CAMPaign?
TheElGordo
Barrow-wights?! No effing thank you. The adventure almost ended right then and there if Tom Bombadil -essentially God himself- wasn’t there.
GTimgur
Seriously. That's one serious ace in the hole they had there. Old Man Willow was less dramatic but no better!

You want to lose your spoons to the Sackville-Baggins? Cause that's how you lose your spoons to the Sackville-Baggins.

Underrated comment!
mkazi8810
Just do it
HiMyNameIsKevinIHaveChangnesia
A simple walk into Mordor tried it sorta. They didn’t do it leisurely though.
mercswar
So in roosterteeth two of their members did the hike from the shire to mordor on foot dressed like hobbits would recomend a watch
Conejito
Become a geologist and they'll pay you to do this! Friends optional!
GTimgur
Geology IS pretty cool... hmmmmmm
just4thelolz
Four companions? So Fatty can come too?
bonkersbabytail
That shits easy in Cornwall
candiduscorvus
Cornwall: Come for the pubs, stay for the barrow-wights!
thecatfish
Nah, that's just the Camborne maids
Spuduck
Pub crawls along th canals in manchester..they used to be just like that
metalrulercid
Try the camino de santiago. I loved it
Randomice
Doable. But there are also trolls, orcs and wraith. So, you may not have much repeat business.
derpipotato
Of all things I've read in novels set somewhere in Britain, aimless countryside rambles is the concept I'm most jealous of.
Kukiniloa
Try the AT, plenty of those annoying LARPers out there.
suckstoyourauntie
Fellowship of the Walk?
Obscurepythonquote
Ummm, can I go home before the barrow wight part please?
khakzoy
It is called larping and nothing is stopping you :)
pfunk81
You know damn well we would all need Tom Bombadil to save us from old man willow and barrow wights.
GTimgur
Yeah won't be gettin many repeat customers on this walk. >_>
Peachos
You can hike from the Shire to Mordor in Washington state. Long damn walk but you can do it
GTimgur
One does not simply walk into Mordor... Tattoo. Its tramp stamps fare guarded by navel piercings. There is evil there that does not sleep.
razark
Do I need to make an appointment, or can I just walk in?
zafner
This is actually surprisingly close to doable in the UK. Except for the fantasy crap, of course. But you can hike from inn to inn across
Spuduck
If only id seen your comment before i added my own..pub crawls..manchester canals..full of adventure and meeting odd beings
cowplum
Do the old ladies working for English Heritage count as Barrow-wrights? Because if we team up, I reckon we can take them!
hirosjimma
Fuck man, you sure we can take on those wretched creatures? ?
hirosjimma
Go to Scotland and you can stay for free in a bothy on your hike. Just gotta bring your own supplies and clean up after yourself.
zafner
What's a bothy?
zafner
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bothy
zafner
essentially open countryside and farmland, in a very shire-like environment.
AtypicalMammal
Until there's a Tesco and the M4 motorway
SpacecouchCowboy
This sounds like an adventure I would like to go on. Any routes you would suggest?
michellelee233
.
WehWehWeh
Just go to Scotland and have a bimble, right to roam laws are great
bostwickenator
Recommending a route completely defeats the purpose my friend. You are not yet ready, first you must learn to think like a Hobbit.
ThailandExpress
i dont recommend a particular route but
SpacecouchCowboy
Oh fuck this is a great movie
Krustation137
Hurst Green in the Ribble Valley once housed Tolkien himself and there's a trail named after him. But everywhere round here is very Shire.
NachtReborn
You don't ask for routes, you ask for locations of good pubs and get a map
SpacecouchCowboy
Got any locations of good pubs?
