Sunday, 30 April 2941 T.A.: Thorin & Company cross the Brandywine Bridge

On this day, in 2941 T.A., Bilbo, Gandalf and the Dwarves set out very early, according to the 1960 timetable, cross the Brandywine Bridge in the late afternoon and camp about 10 miles further east.
Karen Fonstad, in her "Atlas of Middle-earth", agrees with the date of crossing the Brandywine.

Since I could not find any other illustration of the Brandywine Bridge, I submit my own here that I made for my late father two years before his death. The view is from the southwest.

Saturday, 29 April 2941 T.A.: Lodging in Whitfurrows

On this day, in 2941 T. A., Thorin & Company lodged in the town of Whitfurrows in the Eastfarthing, according to Tolkien's 1960 timetable reproduced in "The History of the Hobbit" by John Rateliff. Karen Fonstad achieved about the same result in her "Atlas of Middle-earth", based on averaged travel distances.

Friday, 28 April: The All-welcome inn

Emil Doepler, 1876: Dwarf-smith

On this day, in 2941 T. A., Thorin's Company with Gandalf and Bilbo lodged in the All-welcome Inn at the junction of the Great East Road and the Greenway.

This event is not mentioned in "The Hobbit" but found in a timetable that Tolkien compiled in 1960 for a revision that was soon abandoned. The timetable, published by John D. Rateliff in "The History of the Hobbit, p. 816 et seq., is incompatible with the published "Hobbit" in its latter part but agrees with Karen Fonstad's reconstruction of the travel route in its earlier parts and therefore is included here.
