- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in cages sum to the indicated value.
- Draw a one cell wide path of orthogonally connected cells between the two marked squares. The path does not branch and cannot touch itself, even diagonally. Digits on the path cannot be consecutive with any orthogonally connected cells (including other path cells).

This was lots of fun! A couple of pretty tricky deductions there in the middle.

Stuck in the middle for a while but eventually got it. Simple and elegant ruleset also!
