'If Postmaster Proudfoot wants you to run the usual route to Nobottle, you'll have to follow the road north through the bog to Needlehole and then continue north-west to the Rushock Gate. Once you pass through the gate, you'll be on the road to Nobottle. Postman Grubb is always about at the Quick Post, so he should be easy to spot. Ah, right, you've already met!

'It's a bit of a journey, but it's a simple enough route. Oh, and keep an eye out for nosey hobbits!
