I eventually get myself onto a ridge that's long enough that I'll be able to take a run up and risk one all or nothing leap across to a shelf I can see in the distance. What's beyond the shelf I have no idea but it's the only hope I've got.
But first I have to nip outside the SRV for a second to have a quick pee (I've been in that hole a long time)!
[to be continued as soon as the video of my leap to freedom (or doom) has finished uploading]
So, we're on the ridge and I have just enough room for a run up and desparate leap to a ledge I can see in the distance ..

Phew! When I finally get to the top of that rise I can see, over in the distance (to the right of my SRV in the next shot), a flat plain where, if I can make the second jump, I should then be able to recall the ship.
Alas no video of that one but here's me down on that plain looking back up into the valley of death I've just escaped from.
I recall the ship and head off for a 2nd rendezvous with Bomba, a little older but definitely a little wiser.
Beware Planet Wilson ... take your eye of the road and it will eat you alive!
