What is Chicken Run?
It is part of the chicken session play where players become a level 1 chicken that can then run around Middle Earth. Chicken session play is part of a quest line, which you have to unlock, and begins in The Shire at Sandson’s Farm, north of Michael Delving.Chicken run event: Flying the Coop-Trollshaws
Instance: Flying the Coop-TrollshawsChallenge: To run from Sandson’s farm in the Shire to Rivendell, in the Trollshaws (a level 30+ area), as a level 1 chicken without dying. Once in Rivendell, you need to talk to Roheryn, a horse at the stables.
o You will have some skills: Fowl fleetness, possum impersonation, paranoia, bob and weave.
o There is a time limit: 2 hours 30 minutes
o If you die you return to Sandson’s farm as your main player
o Communication: you will be unable to talk to regular players (those that may accompany you as protection and guides) but you can speak to other chickens via a common chat channel e.g. the coursera chat channel.Eagles of Thorondor Chicken Run!
Meeting place: Sandson’s Farm, Shire.
Note: If players have trouble finding Sandson’s farm, head to Michael Delving and we can send an officer to collect you.This is a clucktastic experience!

My experience last year:
I died several times trying to solo it, lol!
Then I hooked up with Elenistari chicken and bit the dirt when a vicious bear got me at the Ford.Then I joined up with the gang and had a hilarious time running around the place, not having to worry too much about bears as our protectors were there. It was the Rivendell bridge that became my enemy…almost at the finish line I fell off the bridge!!! Luckily I didn’t die and managed to swim to safety but PHEW!!

just fixed Thurin’s post! weblink should be working now!
Also here’s the youtube links for the videos I’m uploading, try them in 15-30mins time (wrote this at 22:40 BST/UK time).
Update: in my rush to get the Sundae edition out, I’ve forgot to add titles! I’ll probably upload a new version later on this week.
