Narrative:
On leaving FBO, I was instructed to turn north on taxiway D and hold short of runway 35. Mistakenly, I turned south and found myself at the departure end of runway 26. I called ground and advised them that I was in need of assistance. Runways 27R and 27L were in use at the time. Problem was confusion in reading airport diagram.
