Geography question

[sanna]

If I were to overlap our map with the one of Middle-Earth, where would Lindon be? How far up north?

It seems I'm actively trying to sabotage the writing of my Very First Fic (tm) because right now I can't get anywhere if don't get the weather and the seasons right...

Here's one map I've seen.

Hi sanna,
Check this page:

Thank you!

Both seem to agree on the placement of Lindon, and according to the other map I'm actually living smack in the middle of Mirkwood. Fortunately the spiders can be killed with a single shoe nowadays.
