Distance and Terrain

Leg 1: Tharbad to the Tunum: 200 Miles (Dunland/Dunland Fells, Moderate/Hard, Border Lands/Wildlands, Road) [x.5] = 100 Miles

Leg 2: Tunum to Fords of Isen: 110 Miles (Dunland Fells/Gap of Rohan, Hard/Moderate, Wildlands/Border Lands, Road) [x.5] = 55 Miles

Leg 3: Fords of Isen to Frecasburg: 90 Miles (Gap of Rohan/West-march, Moderate/Easy, Boarder Lands, No Road) [x1] = 90 Miles

Leg 4: Frecasburg to Fundin's Colony Zone: ~120 Miles (Lone-lands, Moderate, Wildlands, No Road) [x1.5] = ~240 Miles

Speed: On Foot 20 Miles Daily

Expected Journey Length:
Leg 1 5.00 Days - 1 Fatigue Test (TN14, Border Lands)
Leg 2 2.75 Days - 1 Fatigue Test (TN14, Border Lands)
Leg 3 4.50 Days - 1 Fatigue Test (TN14, Boarder Lands)
Leg 4 12.0 Days - 2 Fatigue Rests (TN16, Wild Lands)

Total Trip: 24.25 Days Rounds Up to 25 Days

Fatigue Tests: Late Spring/Summer (1/6 Days) 6 Total Fatigue Tests

This takes you down the Old South Road (to Tunum), to the east bank of the Fords of Isen (possibly to Grimslade), then around the western foothills of the White Mountains and West-march, then south to Frecasburg, and then west into the areas on your maps about Fundin's Colony where you have to search for it.

Looks awesome and full of potential.

I assume we can hire someone to ferry us across the river at Frecasburg. Looks fun.

Right Frecasburg may have rafts or a ford or a bridge or something. Clearly a way to cross there. Otherwise you could try and plan other routes, that's up to you. This just made sense. Darn close to Isengard too for a pit stop if you wanted when near the Fords of Isen.

There is another town just due south of Tunum across the River Isen. I still think your suggested route is better. However, there is a likely a ford north of that time (over the Isen).

Oh yes, Dinas Drust, a West-march village, also may offer a ferry/ford/bridge.

Not sure anyone really knows much about these little Dunlending, West-Fold towns, but at Tunum you'd certainly be able to learn more if you want to change course.

For now we can go with the path I plotted, makes the most sense from a wide view, unless you wantt o take a ship south along the coast and then march inland (that's what Nalir was going to do)

@Wbweather I don't think V has made the travel rolls yet, just Lore... I could have missed something though!

Oh, you are correct. Misread it
