Instead of resting on the rest day, Ian and I decided to undertake an epic journey around the Mount Lorne loop. Things went well until on the way down we made a parallel error and went down the wrong spur; this caused us to soon be wading through increasingly high and dense brush instead of finding the ATV trail we were promised.
Eventually after much discussion and hand-wringing, and several false starts, we figured out what we had done and decided simply to trudge back up to the top of the ridge to correct our mistake. Each step upward drilled the shame of our folly into us further, but we soon righted our course (after wasting more than an hour) and galloped down the mountain in a vain attempt to meet our 3pm deadline. We missed it by some 20 minutes. If only we knew how to read a map.
