OK guys, I am ready to admit that I am completely stuck!

you might check out some of the oldest edsm routes, for exampel the heisenberg bridge: https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-routes/show/id/2/name/Heisenberg+Bridge,+Formidine+Rift
Go down, directly down;
This is a screenshot of the area you are in;
This is a screenshot of the area directly below you several hundred LY at the same zoom level;
So, go down friend and you will be fine!
Howdy Varonica, just wanted to give you a huge thank you for that tip. I have some much clearer paths ahead of me now. Fingers crossed I can safely get into Elysian Shore. Once there, my path back to the bubble should be relatively issue free!
OK, thanks to the magnificent advice of Varonica, I now have a very clear path to Elysian Shore. From there, I plan to see if I can plot a clear route all the way back to the fringes of Settled Space.
You are very welcome indeed, have fun and fly safe Cmdr o7
OK, so I am now inside the Elysian Shore sector, & have been able to plot a 4,000Ly path deeper in. Once there, I will try to beeline towards Khun, where I hope to drop off my exploration data & get my Elite Exploration Rank

I think time counts as a dimension? But is also quite famous for being nature's way of making sure everything ever, doesn't all happen at once. (I think, I thought or I will think so anyway)
Happy to see Cmdr Hicks has threaded Ariadne's needle away from the Minotaur. For the sake of interest if I get into areas where there might only be one way back out, and if the visted-stars filter is a bit unclear which it can be, I've got into habit of carrying ballast. Racks 100% full of expendable hydrogen fuel, water, liquid O2, limpets whatever, if you find more valuable cargo you can jettison one for one with no effect on the laden jump range, you plotted your way in with. In emergencies you can also dump your ballast for a small but potentially significant free jump range boost and fans that have, "come a long way for your tasty cargo," they love it too.
Now. Where's my ball of string.
Aww, a l'il lost human...
.Yup, is always nice to see humans help each other out, one of your species redeeming features.
It does, but if you count the number of dimensions that got folded up to singularity when time/space separated a few pico-seconds after the big bang it comes in at around 14 or 15 I think!
OK, so I have been away from my PC for a week-over Christmas-but just felt like giving a very quick update. So my long journey back to the bubble continues.....but thank goodness it looks like there will be no more insurmountable gaps along the way. Looking at these pics side by side, it looks like I have barely moved, yet the second pic is after about 1.5 hours of jumping-though I'd probably go much faster if I didn't insist on scanning every system I go through . If my ship gets destroyed before I can hand in the data, I shall be very, very vexed!

Nice going, I also scan everything with the FSS so that's not unusual, how fast I travel usually depends on how large systems are and how many interesting things they contain, you did a fair distance there so that's not bad. Let us know if you have any other problems, and don't be reluctant to go solo to hand in your data in a populated system, NPC's are easy, other players not so much!
Good job CMDR. You nearly home. Happy for you. And I agree with @veronica. Go SOLO, loosing that much data to random encounter will really hurt...OK, so I have been away from my PC for a week-over Christmas-but just felt like giving a very quick update.

OK, thought I would give another quick update on my progress. I have progressed deep into the Elysian Shore Sector, & am now making the push into my final leg-back into the Inner Orion Spur. It's over 300 jumps to get to the system I have targeted, but hopefully I will reach an inhabited planet long before that!
OK, this will probably be one of my last updates on this thread. Today, I finally made it back into the Inner Orion Spur.....almost home
Woot......only 500 Light Years left to go!!! I'd ask for there to be fireworks....but I suspect they might end up being the wrong kind .

Nice progress there sir! It has been fun to follow your progress.
I'll launch some Flak for you in Buzhang Ku later... That shouldn't be too threatening
