Year 2941 – The Hobbit
December 9-17
- Gandalf, Beorn and Bilbo keep their journey around Mirkwood from the Lonely Mountain
He [Bilbo] had many hardships and adventures before he got back. The Wild was still the Wild, and there were many other things in it in those days besides goblins; but he was well guided and well guarded-the wizard was with him, and Beorn for much of the way-and he was never in great danger again.
[The Hobbit, Chapter 18: The Return Journey]
