Return to
Númenor
(Gambier
Island)
Join us on our trek to the island of Númenor, where you will paddle
and hike in search of this fabled lost isle of the Western Sea. When
you reach Númenor you will be given provisions to set up your camp
for the night. After you and your Hobbit Scouts have dinner (or supper,
or afternoon tea, or second breakfast) you will be invited to take
part in the Quest for the Ring of Númenor Lake. The Hobbit Patrol
that finds the Ring will be able to claim it as their own. The next
morning you will leave the lake and return to Middle Earth. The road
home is never quite the same, so you will make your way back the opposite
way: If you paddled over, you will hike back, if you hiked up, you
will canoe back.
.
The Hike is approx. 8 km, while Canoe Trip is
approx 6 km with a approx hike of 1.5 km hike. For this
adventure you will need to bring good hiking boots and a compass.
Canoe experience is an excellent idea as you will be using 10 man
canoes in Howe Sound, |

Caradhras
- The Trek over the Misty Mountains
(Mt.
Elphinstone)
It's not uncommon to attribute personalities to mountains - and the
Misty Mountain Range with its triple peaks of Celebdil, Caradhras
and Fanuidhol is no exception. They loom, there is a sense of dread,
that affects even the weather. In the case of Caradhras, its rocky,
snow-covered slopes rain avalanches of malice - aided by the power
of Saramon. Our quest starts at the base of the mountain, avoiding
the great dark clouds of black-winged crebain and the winged Nazgul
in search of our company. As you ascend the mountain you will participate
in the Council about the 20 Rings, complete the Map Quest take on
an apprenticeship with the Rohan , open of the Black Gate, descend
into the Black Chasm, cross the Bridge of Khazad-dûm to, finally,
hold Council with the Ents. |
