Unfortunately, I ran out of time and made a wise decision to abort and return so that I would make it back in the light. I had fun anyway, and I learnt quite a bit about navigating in the bush with map and compass and with GPS as the safety backup. I made one wrong turn and became befuddled once when working my way down around the cliff at top of Cattle dog.
