As the lead web developer for the Middle-earth News I don’t often get time to post articles, so this is a nice treat for me!
A big Hello and Thank you to Curtis Williams and Stephen Richmond for telling me about this. It made my evening, and my hope is it will do the same for all of the readers out there.
Like many people today, its not uncommon for me to use Google Maps to look up directions before talking out my front door – but it would seem Google has taken the time to caution us just in case we might do so without the proper knowledge.
Step 1: Navigate to Google Maps
Navigate to Google Maps by clicking the link above.
Step 2: Set your Journey
In the search bar enter, “The Shire to Mordor” and hit Enter.
Step 3: Simply Walk
Off course when traveling to Mordor, it would be most efficient to walk… right?
Select the Walking Directions icon.
Step 4: Use Caution
Notice that Google has taken the time to notify you that “One does not simply walk into Mordor”.
We hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
