people of this forum plz can you answer yet another question bout lord of the rings ....... how long does it take them to destroy the ring .from the moment they left the shire to the actual destroying of it.....rather puzzling for me.....i have read the books and watched the moviez but i tstill can't figure it out cuz none of them celebrate a birthday part from bilbo..

14 months is it not?

a little over a year

frodo gets the ring-nothing happens for 17 years-frodo sets out to destroy ring-one year passes-frodo is coming home

i haven't a clue....i don't remeber seeing anything bout the length of time ...

The actual way from Shire to Mordor takes them from the end of september (3018) until end of March (3019)

thnx you are kind put my mind at ease now .... wouldn't it be crap if you lost track of the days you couldn't celebrate your birthday

that cant be right
thats seven months
so it takes another 5 months to ride unchallenged back to weathertop

okay maybe not .... i know it doesn't take em that long to get to the weather top cuz i just read that bit in the book last nite

They stay in Ithilien for ages, then in Rivendell

if the ring to mordor was seven months
to get back to weathertop would take five months as when they pass it frodo feels the pain in his shoulder again, it is exacly one year since he was stabbed

i wouldn't think it was five mnths tho bit of a friging delay

But there is no doubt that the ring was destroyed at the end of March... 25th i think... the wedding of aragorn and arwen is two months later between june and july... and are back in the shire on the 21st of september afair

*goes to check*



*comes back* i was foolish to disagree

so is it 14 mnths or not

whats seven plus five
do the math

@Sauron -



No, the journey from the Shire to Mordor was exactly 6 months, but it took another 6 months after the destruction of the ring until the hobbits returned to the Shire.

14 even though i failed maths that was rather simple

7 + 5 = 14??? lol english maths is funny

lol it was 14 in the film so that's what im going by

i was going to say the same thing exa but i thought nah.

oh yay thank thank you

OOOOPS sshhh forget what I said... after 12 months they're in RIVENDELL where they stay so long that all in all it's 14 months until theyre back in the shire

that is one long winded trip ....so how many miles is that ....... heehee

HAHAHAHA THOR IS THE MASTER OF KNOWLEDGE MWUAHAHAHAH

miles...well in middle earth they tend to favour using leagues not miles
how many miles in a league
beats me

shame aeroplanes weren't bouyt for them

3 miles are one league

then how many leagues did they travel

alot

ok

Indeed a lot
I'll work it out will take a while...

135684

exa i was just joking lol i didn't measure it

Okay...just so we can all be sure of something here...since the last couple of entries have gotten off topic.

Frodo left the Shire and Bagend on Sep. 23, 3018
Frodo destroyed the Ring in the fires of Mount Doom on Mar. 25, 3019

So that is just about 6 months.

It wasn't until Sep 29th, 3021 that Frodo left Middle Earth for the Undyling lands.

Hopefully this answers the original question.

That's all I have to say about that

what ever do o all big headed now
