He had packed his bag and kissed his family goodbye, Merry knew it would be a long journey. Tears were in his eyes as he walked briskly to the gate at the end of the garden. The hobbit prepared for his second trip to the South.

He looked forward to seeing Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli so much but he had a feeling things may have changed rather more than they had in The Shire. It was so sheltered from the outside world, even though trade with Bree had increased since the great war, people and traditions had remained for the most part the same.

Now he had left The Shire, it had taken him just under two hours. Bill, the pony he had taken to greatly at Bree was suffering his load well, despite his age.
He had come to the Bridge over the Brandywine long before dark and that night he stayed at The Prancing Pony. Many faces recognised 'the hobbit from the shire' and he had a lively night before he finally retired to his room.
The next day he would attempt to make it to Rivendell but it would be a long, hard ride.
