What was the distance from The Shire to Mordor (LOTR)?

In perceptive of our world, how far would that be? Beijing to New York, for instance?

1100 miles is more like New York to St Louis.

But which end is Mordor?

My answer was going to be, oh about a thousand pages.

The google ads say ‘Buy your Frodo has failed stickers! Low price!’

snark Now one of the Google ads says “Planning A Trip?”? :eek:

Yeah… I’d like a one-way ticket to Mordor , please, and could I get a lay-over in Rivendell? (Those Elves know how to PARTY !) :smiley:

That was funny, but didn’t look entirely accurate. Frodo never got that close to Minas Tirith, for instance… unless I’m missing the joke, and the website shows the route he’d PLANNED when he was sitting in front of his PC at Bag End, and not the route he actually TOOK (thanks to Boromir’s Ring-grab and other complications).

Well, it also doesn’t mention the detour on the route through Moria, but that’s about par for the course for internet trip planning.
