Greetings and Welcome,
I thought it time someone (me) let all you free folk know how we fared last weekend. I also have announcements to make concerning the progress of the Fellowship Walk 2013.

Our LOTRO event is getting ever more popular as the word of our adventure spreads throughout the community.

Last Saturday on the 5th October we walked all the way from The Old Forest to Bree. We have many walkers, some folks too tired to walk on their own feet took to walking their mounts along side of us. We had a very successful night and day.

We had words with Lalia, a party on a Barrow. The security team killed many undead wights.

We found the corpse of an Unfortunate Soul, and the east west road again!

Arriving at the Barrow! Hurray. Screenshot by Alesel
Then through the West Gate, up the hill and finished up at the Stage opposite the prancing pony.

A Final Word:
A few things I would like to stress, although this is a charity event where we are trying very hard to reach our goal of $5000. Our LOTRO event is open to all players, we would feel rotten if players stayed away from all our prepared fun just because they are unable to contribute money. Please join in! and remember LOTRO is a game, lets have fun together! supporting this great cause in whatever way we can.
If you feel you would like to contact a member of LOTROPlayers.com about this event.
Please feel free to email: Lilikatebuggins@gmail.com

Somewhere in the world a child will be happier because of what we did today.

Fantastic article Lilikate!
Wow! So many great pictures also! It was a pleasure to be part of such a gathering and I’d help again anytime, anyway I can Miss Lilikate! Thank you very much!
When is the next walk anyhow? I keep looking but can’t seem to find the dates amongst all the posts.
Lol ok I just found the date/time… Typically when I’m not around my comp heh.
That’s a shame, How about the 24th at 6pm EST?
(I am considering making the date and time info even bigger and bolder now).
Amazing article for a great cause…
Great pics too
I will try and join in this Saturday but my own little ones are just so demanding at those times…
Why not turn the game on at 1.30pm, leave the game on and enjoy the music? You and the wee ones can hobbit dance like Lizzy likes to do
Great article Lilikate.
Yes, I was able to join last week and hopefully will be again this week. I am still busy unpacking now and trying to find my coffee machine. I know it is in a box here somewhere
See you in the morning for me for the next leg.
Have fun!
