I spent about half an hour on Cairns 1 & 2 (also great levels) trying different routes already, and it just so happened that the solution for this level is something I've attempted before which didn't work on the previous two levels. I love how different the solutions are for the triplet of levels, while still sharing similar obstacles to tackle.
Crazy level, definitely close to the hardest in the campaign. The path makes so much sense, but seeing it is incredibly difficult.
Edit: a month or so later, just re-figured this one out. Still a brilliant level and solution.
For me that was the easiest of the series. I was sure that one specific way to go is the only plausible one (other ways took me too far), so I focused on optimizing that one and won pretty rapidly.
Got stuck 2 off for quite a while, turns out the real path was completely different. I actually tried an idea like that right away but did it inefficiently... Great level set.
