![Around The World In 80 Days: The Fog(g) Sudoku!
*** TODAYS PUZZLE ***
How has no-one had this idea before! Liam McGs first ever puzzle combines the wonderful novel by Jules Verne with fog sudoku. Will Phileas Fogg win his bet with the Reform club and make it home in 80 days. [The version below has a slight ruleset tweak to the version Simon attempts in the video.]
Play the puzzle at the links below:

Rules:
London, 1872. Phileas Fogg wagers a fortune that he can circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days. Unbeknownst to him, a detective named Fix, convinced Fogg is really a bank robber fleeing the country, has resolved to stop him. Will he be successful? Discover Foggs route around the globe and tally the days to find out.
RULES
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Fogg of War: The grid starts partially obscured with fog. Placing enough digits correctly will lift fog from an adjacent box.
White Kropki Dots: Cells with a white-dot are consecutive. All white dots are given.
Killer Cages: If a cage has a number in its top-left cell, digits in that cage sum to it.
Detective Fix: In 3x3 box n, Fix is disguised as digit n. Fix cannot be in a cage but must be orthogonally adjacent to a cage or cages in the same box. Boxes are numbered in normal reading order.
Path (around the world): Draw a orthogonally connected path to form a loop which visits every box at least once and never forms a 2×2 block. Across the whole loop, the path passes through exactly one Fix cell and exactly one cage cell — they need not be in the same box. Additionally, every cell with a white (Kropki) dot is on the path, though not all path cells need a white dot.
Total Days: Digits on the loop count the days of Foggs journey. The sum of these digits will therefore show whether Fogg succeeds in circumnavigating the globe in 80 days. Note: you should not assume the sum is 80 — or any other total — for he might not make it in time... that is for you to find out!
Crossing the International Date Line: Any digit in a cell in which the path actually crosses (ie not just touches) the red International Date line does not count toward the sum (to account for crossing the International Date Line!).
