This text will be replaced

Description
John Young's chest mounted stills camera is seen close to the camera at the start of this clip before the camera pans around to the side to see deep craters and the steeply undulating terrain they are driving up. Two minutes and 50 seconds into the clip the camera pans further round to catch sight of the Rover's out-going tracks that they are now following back towards their base. The communications antenna and the TV camera dominate the foreground. Dust can be seen flying over the rover from the rear wheels as the vehicle bounces and bumps across the Moon.
