The city lies on the North bank of a big river - the Gwathlo. It is walled on the North, there are many gates, all guarded by Arnorean soldiers. The road to Bree and further to Annuminas and Fornost starts at the main North Gate- Annon Forn.

The South Bank is almost empty. You can get there by crossing the Tharbad Bridge, guarded by Arnoreans on the North bank and by Gondoreans on the South Bank. There starts the road to Gondor and a track to Nin-in Eiphl.

By the way, you know Rian, that Tyaron might have travelled to Bree? It is 200 miles and the min. time travel is 2 days (4 days both ways). If you make him return on Friday, not on Wednesday, that might fit.
