Apart from walking how would you travel around Middle Earth

1) By Pony and Cart, Gandalf style, if its good enough for hiim . . .

2) By Oliphant after all nothing would stand in our way!!

3) By Eagle, Gotta be the way to go.

4) By Horse, if its a Mearas I'd never walk again

5) By Warg, Haaa just imagine the look on those poor peoples faces.

6) By Dragon, On its back, not in its belly

7) On all fours Gollum style, especially after The Green Dragon, The Prancing Pony, Malt Beer, Pints .

Hope thats enough options
