Rooster Teeth

Hello Internet!
So as many of you know, Chris and I recently went to the Supanova events in Australia. Well, while we were over on that side of the world we hopped on a plane and headed over to New Zealand. Why did we do that? Well, we're both really big Lord of the Rings fans, and super excited about the release of The Hobbit this week. So we decided to do something...stupid. But also cool. Chris and I decided to have our very own fellowship and destroy the One Ring (Well, a replica. It's a really nice replica though). Unfortunately, these locations are...fictional. But, their filming locations aren't. So that's what we set out to do. We attempted to walk from the film set used to film the Hobbiton footage, to the Mountain that was used as Mt. Doom, over 120 miles! And we made a video series out of it! So grab some Lembas bread and a Hobbit pipe, sit back, and watch the first part of our journey: A Simple Walk Into Mordor.

I'm not gonna lie, one of the reasons I am trying to convince @Steven we need to go visit Caiti and Saun and all the other Aussies is so we can also sneak over to New Zealand and pretty much do the exact same thing you just did. At least now I get to live vicariously through you until I can save up the money to do it myself.

I wish I was there. Guess I'll just have to walk the streets of Manchester and pretend I am walking to Mordor. The real Mordor would probably be a step up from Manchester.

This is going to be so cool miniseries to watch. I also thought that Chris and you would do this for a charity group as well. But its still kind of cool to do. Maybe next time Burnie might left you walk the entire length of the actual 'the hobbit' journey, including child's play maybe. Best work you guys cant wait for more!

What you all were up to in New Zealand had been hinted at a bit on the podcast, but I never would have imagined something like this. Very cool, you guys. I'll definitely be staying tuned to see how this turns out.

Go KERRY!!

That was incredibly entertaining. I imagine guided walks from The Shire to Mordor will begin as a result of your escapades.
Oh, and you can just put it in google maps. It's 328 miles and would take 5 hours by car.
