Welcome to Walk Week! This week we'll be covering different "walk" genres. We've done a few themed weeks at this point, and I hope you enjoy!

Last week, I covered Lavaloid's Strange-Shaped Sunday with a hexagonal ice puzzle. Today, on my normal turn, I'm giving you a hexagonal Ice Walk. What can I say? Ice genres are fun on hexagonal grids!

And besides that, I've heavily enjoyed going on "ice walks" myself, though it hasn't been cold enough in Seattle to produce much ice...

Rules: Draw a loop connecting the centers of edge-adjacent cells. The loop must pass through all cells with numbers. Blue cells indicate "ice." The loop must not turn on ice cells. The loop may intersect itself, but it must only do so on ice cells. Numbers indicate the number of cells in the non-ice section of the loop the number is visited in.
