The trail we followed is very accurately described <here> (in reverse). We thought it would be tough for people dragging a 10day backpack on their back, but since we just did the one day we only had lunch to carry...
But no, we still only moved at around 1 kilometer per hour!! We had two less agile hikers with us which slowed us a bit, but still, we were all pushed to the limits!
In the end the 8 of us with 3 torches had to split up in two groups. Three of us could rush out and get to the cars by dark, and the other five went their own pace with the torches. We made the cars around 830pm, and the others came out at 930pm, well and truly in the dark! No injuries despite a few slips and falls down cliffs and ravines, but we all made it.
All the photos are <here>.
Found three geocaches on the way too!

And it all started so nice with a huge bridge across the river!
