I THINK that's when Pippin has just looked into the Palantir and been whisked away on Shadowfax by Gandalf and they are busy heading for Minas Tirith?

Correct Jo. It's the first sentence in Book 5. How about a quote?

This is Gandalf to Butterbur in RK Ch. VII "Homeward Bound". He's about to ask for pipeweed.

Well, since it looks as though nobody else is doing this one, I'll give the answer. It's Fellowship Bk I Ch. VIII "Fog on the Barrow-downs" - Frodo briefly imagining escaping from the barrow but abandoning his companions.
Now try this:
Brambles trailed upon the ground, or clambering over bush and bank, made shaggy caves where small beasts housed

Alas, no. It's much later, and in a much less pleasant place. In case it helps a little, I'll continue the quotation:
No trees grew there; but among the rank grasses could still be seen the burned and axe-hewn stumps of ancient groves.

I presume it is Frodo and Sam on the way to Mordor but that's prolly not specific enough for me to be 'right' I think. Anyone else? :)

It's in TTT, in 'The Road to Isengard', when Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli, Theoden, Eomer, etc. arrive there following the Battle of Helm's Deep.

That's Sam on the Great River, shortly after the company had left Lothlorien.
