A Journey Through the Magalies: A Walking Adventure in the Footsteps of Middle-earth
Come, kindred spirits of the Free Peoples, and embark upon a morning’s ramble through the fair lands near the Magalies Mountains, where the air is sweet, the rivers run clear, and adventure stirs beneath the boughs. This shall not be a journey of haste, but one of merriment and camaraderie, where the wayfarer’s heart is lifted by good company and the telling of tales.
Attire of the Folk of Middle-earth is heartily encouraged! Whether you don the humble garb of the Shirefolk, the sturdy raiment of the Rangers, or the flowing robes of the Eldar, let the spirit of Middle-earth guide your choice.
Guides, skilled in the lore of old, shall walk among you, ensuring none lose their way and that the road is made lighter with song and story. Groups shall be small—bands of eight to ten, as a true fellowship ought to be.
The Day’s Journey
Location: B'sorah Trails, Broederstroom
Date: 28 June 2025
Arrival: 7:30 in the morning, that we may take to the road by 8:30.
The Path: A gentle 5 km trek, winding through glades and across rivers, to be savored rather than rushed. Those swift of foot, eager for distant horizons, may find this pace ill-suited to their temperament.
Noon-day Feast: 12 o’clock, at the appointed picnic grounds.
Return to Hearth and Home: Though the road goes ever on, we shall linger at the picnic site in merriment until the hour of three.
Packages for Travelers
Hobbit’s Comfort (R350): A proper journey, with due provision for a second breakfast upon arrival (do take a morsel at home before setting forth!), a taste of lembas for elevensies, and a hearty luncheon beneath the open sky. Full access to the picnic grounds is granted.
Ranger of the North (R110): A leaner fare, suited to those who walk the wilds with naught but their own provisions. The road is open to you, but no access to the picnic site shall be granted. (I don't think they know about second breakfast!)
Elven Grace (R150): A path betwixt, allowing one to wander and to linger at the picnic site, with leave to bring one’s own sustenance and feast as one wills.
What to Bring on Your Quest
A vessel of water, that thirst may not hinder thee.
Sturdy shoes, for the path is uneven, though fair.
Sun-warding salves, for even in the waning season, the light of the sun holds strength.
If thou wouldst sit beneath the open sky, a (camping) chair of one’s own is wise, though picnic tables shall be provided within at the site of picnics.
If thou hast chosen the Elven Grace, bring thine own sustenance, that hunger may not trouble thee.
Gather, ye wanderers, for the road calls, and fair company awaits!
