Hot Spots!

An infrequent guide to the hottest, coolest and in-betweeniest places to visit this millennium, all within the careful gaze of our watchful eye...

After using the old knife in the map technique, my first Hot Spot recommendation takes us to the charming ashyness of...

The Ash Mountains (may also be know as the Ered Lithui, but I shall not utter in that language here...)

Good for people who enjoy: Ash, minions, ash, death by ash, ash...I think you see where we're heading with this...

Not so suitable (but why should that stop you) for: Free peoples, people with a general dislike of ash...and minions...and Mordor...

The Ash Mountains form the northern border of Mordor and the picturesque setting of mountainous territory is enough to inspire fear and loathing in even the nicest of minions. The Ash tinted by the red light of Mordor creates the perfect Mordorian atmosphere of evil.

Although painful death is commonplace here, do not let that put you off, death is quite a frequent activity. It is highly recommended when visiting to at least creep into one of the numerous spider caves dotted about the area, to watch their disturbing feeding habits; you may even be offered the opportunity to be tortured alive, or eaten.

It has become quite a trend these days to ski upon the treacherously steep cliffs of the mountains, and this is not to be discouraged; although we do warn you that if you have a fondness for keeping your head safely attached to your body you will invest in razor-edged skis. Remember a nasty-looking skier is a safer skier...

If you choose to follow the mountains round to where they join with the Mountains of Shadow, you will be able to visit the vast tourist attraction of the Morannon, or Black Gate; the front door of Mordor (we discourage ringing the bell).

In all of the areas mentioned above it is perfectly acceptable to perform unlawful acts such as biting heads off other tourists, pillaging, burning and general rabble-like behaviour. But that doesn't mean someone will not do something about it; (normally, biting your own head off, or in the case of the rare variety of toothless trolls found in the area, squashing you to a pulp.)
