I found this a little tricky and had to backtrack a couple of times but I'm not the best solver, so I felt I should give it 3 stars based on the fact better solvers would make fewer logical errors and find it a little easier.
I thought it had a really interesting path and loved the interaction between all the constraints. No idea how there can be multiple solve paths based on a previous comment - "wow" if true! (I found hard enough for just one.)
Thanks Ridwhan, fabulous first puzzle!!!! :)

for some reason I got to the end and have tried three different options and have triple checked and find multiple solutions
