I think the best is to think ahead and pre-planing number of day where the area is Blighted. Last day of Journey to Amon Bauglir, one day around Dol Guldur...
Nothing of Worth.

Related to this theme, I was just re-reading the "The Watch on the Heath" adventure from the "Tales from Wilderland" supplement (the old version). I found this on page 141,when talking about the Travel from Erebor to Zirakinbar:
Corruption Tests
The Waste is a Shadow Land, so a Corruption test is
needed every day to avoid gaining a point of Corruption.
I think this isn't in line with what Francesco clarified about Blighted Places and Corruption tests in the Lake-town supplement and, later, was included in the Revised Corebook.
But does anybody already have the Revised Tales PDF and can take a look at page 141? Has this been changed to agree with the clarifications about corruption test while travelling?

Still says one corruption test a day as it is a Shadow Land.

Right, but the point is that maybe the whole journey need not be through blighted lands, and the Corruption tests are less frequent. But saying that the lands around Zirakinbar are Blighted makes sense, so I didn't worry too much about it (I think I still tested for blight first, or at least combined tests together.)

I suspect that line in Tales is a hangover from the original due to the lengthy delay in getting approvals. If the manuscript is 'approved' then making changes such as this may possibly require re-approval and the increased delay may not have made the change worth the time.
