Menderbug

Yesterday marked one year since my first GAPP! I was wondering what I should do to celebrate. While Rail Pool has been featured a few times, I've been a little reluctant to make one myself for GAPP. But I figured today I could indulge a little.

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centres of all cells. Some boldly outlined regions contain number clues. If a straight loop segment visits any cells of a clued region, its length must match one of these numbers. Each number must correspond to at least one such loop segment. (The internal boundary in row 5 has no relevance to the puzzle.)

Note: See the additional diagram below for some correct and incorrect examples of a region.
