Dunno about the sex of the PIC, but the voice was male, and he accepted the taxi instructions from the tower ATC.

Alpha taxiway is closed just north of the Apron, so anyone who misses Echo taxiway when Rwy 01 is in use has to vacate right onto 16 to cross from Lima to Echo for the ramp.

There are a couple of other routes, one being a 180 on the runway.

However the quickest and least time on the runway is right onto 16, right Lima, cross Rwy 01 and Echo to the ramp.

The PIC accepted a right turn onto 16 after missing Echo taxiway on the landing roll, and somehow put the nosewheel into the sand.

2 hours 25 minutes later, all was sorted out.
