I spent most of this morning in the stables tending to Faranere to prepare her for the journey into the Misty Mountains from Imladris. I also checked and double checked all of my equipment. It felt good to finally be able to carry my weapons again.
As per usual we started our journey later than I would have liked to but we made good time. The Misty Mountains are colder than any of us could have anticipated and recent snowfall has made travel slow and difficult. Especially when we were halted by a strange odour scaring the horses. Faranere bolted but soon returned, in the short time I have had her she has been a faithful and well behaved steed.
As the sun went down we made camp out of the wind and lit a fire to keep us warm. Someone shall have to tend to it all night else we shall all freeze in our sleep and never leave this place.
