Ha that was funny...

Classic. I'm guessing the Intrepid fox is a pub?

Weirdly, I'm getting actual directions from an Irish pub to a tattoo parlor.

Whilst one should not simply walk into Mordor Google Maps does recommend catching a Ferry.

They go great with coconut oil.

Funny.

As an added benefit, I now know where to find "Mordor Tattoo" and a nearby florist called "Daylilies of the Shire."

Outstanding :D

That's what I'm getting too. I'm wondering if I've done something wrong.

Oh nevermind. I didn't see the warning.

Subtle.

You guys are neighbors!

What a misleading title for a thread. I was hoping to find a recipe for a good cheese and hobbit egg omelette.

Dragon eggs are bigger.

LOL. You can have a few drinks at the Intrepid Fox before heading to Mordor.

It is now my life's ambition to set up along the route a chain of hotels / restaurants / etc called things like Bree, Weathertop, Rivendell, Moria, Lothlorien, Edoras, Helm's Deep, Minas Tirith and Minas Ithil, although I might leave out the Dead Marshes.

Don't forget the Green Dragon and the Prancing Poney. (or the advice that "Shortcuts make for long delays, but Inns make for longer ones.)

As the route shown from the UK starts in North London, I'd be surprised if there isn't a Green Dragon in the vicinity, and I'm sure a Prancing Pony can be arranged!

And Mr. Murgo's Mushrooms (a nice side little vendor's shop that specializes in stuffed mushrooms).

Well you could always use the name Dead Marshes for your haunted hotel.
