The Journey Home

The slow return from Minas Tirith to Edoras with Theodens bier took 15 days. Thence they went to Helms Deep and on to Isengard, where they said farewell to Treebeard and parted from Legolas and Gimli. After this they passed through the Gap of Rohan and made their way north on the west side of the Misty Mountains. After passing Dunland they came upon Saruman and at last came to the place where the road branched off to the Redhorn Pass and Moria Gate. Here they camped for a week before saying farewell to Celeborn and Galadriel.
They went on north again to Rivendell and finally turned west to Bree and The Prancing Pony, on to the point where they had left Tom Bombadil on the outward journey, where Gandalf left them, and so to Brandywine Bridge and the Shire. (Many Partings; Bk 3)
