Ok, time to take bets on whether the team heads East or West before turning back to the south.

From Sol 512:

East:

I say West, as the dunes appear to be a bit less formidable and the etched terrain can be reached more quickly by angling to the WSW; but the lighting from the sun may be fooling me on the apparent height of the dunes. I really think they need to be traveling close to due south, staying between dune lines, and not crossing perpendicular to any more dunes than they absolutely have to.

Here's a view using Phil-O-Vision

Part of the sloping is due to dodgy alignment of the frames.
