Recommended advice
An alternative return may be the path from Malmangernuten along the mountain ridge between Guddalsdalen Valley and Hattebergsdalen Valley to where the path divides towards Skeisfjell, and from there down Murabotnen to the toll road at Hattebergsdalen Valley. See the Malmangernuten route from Hattebergsdalen.
