I walked through Middle Earth, but didn't see a single Hobbit

Seems like I've walked the length of Aotearoa... that's the Land of the Long White Cloud to you and me:

990 miles eh? Not too shabby!

I'm pretty surprised to be honest, especially since I've hardly walked anywhere in the last couple of weeks thanks to the diabolical weather.

Oh... and I didn't see any Wizards, Dwarves, Goblins or Elves either!
