Post-drive 4-tile NavCam mosaic looking Northeast after the drive.

The rover has returned to its notional path, having driven away from 'Dox Castle'. The terrain on the path is similar to what we see in this image, so we may encounter a degree of wheel slip and deeper tracks. That will usually result in shorter drives.

I'll post the map and drive data in separate posts
