OK, I understand what you say. I just can't resist objecting to that example ;) In my experience, finding the exact same path back after hiking up a mountain is really hard. Especially if you are in enough trouble already to get stuck. Up and down tend to look completely different. Looking back all the time while you go up might help, but finding your way back by simply taking the reverse path is definitely not easy. Bjørn
