trying to find Bomba proved to be quite a complicated task, he found himself a nice hiding hole.
There is some light ...
There he is!
view from the hole:
trying to lift Bomba up proved to be tricky
nicely wedged into the wall
filling the hole with tea didn't work either ... to much hole, to little tea:
making way for a sleek sidewinder ... nicely kitted out! its really cozy down there ... way down there ...
nearly there:
Touchdown!
Phenomenally flown by Dormus, you can still see Tarrakis acting as an emergency catcher back in the hole, and Drake Aurum as a last minute safety backup highway ... fortunately it all worked out great.
lets relax with a nice can of tea!
No ground was gained this evening, but a lot of really tense (and realy cozy) situations occured, and a lot of fun was had.

you had sweaty palms after all ... all is forgiven.
Certainly proof that bigger is not always better. There are some jobs for which only a Sidewinder will do.
Even my AspX was too big to get right into the bottom of the hole - well done everyone, that was the most fun I've had in ED to date without moving more than 500m
I made it out!! CMDR Dormus and his sidewinder pulled me out of there like a boss, best Sidewinder in the Galaxy! The Tension when I was on his ship and he slowley moved up was killing me
Will post some pictures tomorrow, its really late I need to go to bed, just wanted to make a quick update: Bomba still alive!
Congradulations CMDR Bomba Luigi!!!
Glad you made it out of the hole, want to see where you adventure goes
CMDRS Dormus, DukeAurum, Craith Rhandir, Flankard, & Tarrakis awesome work!!!!
I just sorry I couldn't be there...darn work & I have another 3 nights of work
What cordinates have you all stopped at?
We're settled back at the "Tea Party" location, just a hundred metres or so from the screenshot I posted earlier. I'm going to try to give Bomba a lift out of the canyon on my Anaconda tomorrow evening, probably starting around 17:30 game time.
-11.9515, 155.5307 So same as yesterday. Great location for wallracing though. If I got a 1000cr each time I dinged that rock on the wall, I'd settle down for good.

Awesome, thanks for the info CMDRs
...I think I am going to miss that unfortunately so I'll monitor this thread from work to see how the lift out of the canyon goes....darn work lol ...well just have to get through the next 3 nights and then I will be able to join you again.
on a nother note, my computer rebooted while I was at work, so re-uploading the part 3 of 3 video to YouTube now...
Part 1 was okay with scouting the path, wall climbing, & SRV boosting towards the end
Part 2 lots of wall climbing, lifting, boosting SRV
Part 3 more wall climbing, boosting SRV, teamwork lifting SRV, tea party, shooting in sky to direct other CMDRs to us
...so can't wait to get part 3 uploaded...
So sleepy but finally got video #3 uploaded...
video links again...

This has been, and still is, one of the most amazing in game Elite stories I've read! It's been a long while since I've played, and reading this has made me want to jump in again. Thank you guys! Where does the rescue go from here? Now that he's out of the Pit of Despair, how does Bomba get his ship back? How will he successfully escape Planet Wilson??
Can someone fill me in on how Horizons works?

Technically the only way to get off the planet would be to self destruct.
When multi crew arrives it may be possible to be rescued,but that could be months off.
Seeing as this has been such an interesting adventure i wonder if FD might step in and spawn his ship on the planet(if that's even possible)just to give this story a happy ending when he becomes a little tired of his planet.

Yes, and then there is this to consider:
I was not aware that was how it was going to work. So multicrew might not be the rescue either. But right now I think just getting up and out of the valley would be a great achivement.
I'm thinking maybe there could be an Engineer base here: Bobby Fat - specializing in upgrading search-lights and headlights

Just found this thread. Have to say I am amazed that you stayed there for so long. How long have you been there? How large is the planet? Thinking of circumnavigating it?
Ok just arrived I will log off until tomorrow I am very near the coordinates, will be able to log on tomorrow hopefully around 1900 GMT.
