Walker

The weekend is a great time to go on a long walk! I’m headed out on a Supersized Patrol of the local boulder field. If these circles were oil barrels, it could be a Petrol! Would be a good opportunity for a Petrel, except that Shye used that bird last time 😅

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells which passes through every white circle and no black circles. No 2x2 area of the grid may be entirely used or unused by the loop

Here’s a GAPP 101, repeated from the original GAPP Patrol: A two cell wide nook in most loop genres is easy to get into, but doing so in Patrol will violate the 2x2 rule! With this in mind, think about how to enter and exit a three cell wide nook
