Cryptic Journey
A wandering journey is traced by the shaded path in the diagram. Moving generally top to bottom and proceeding left, right, up, or down but never diagonally, this path spells out the names of the journeying fellows, one of whom puts his 9 Down in 32 Down. Solve the puzzle as a diagramless; no bars or numbers are shown in the grid, but clues reflect proper sequence and numbering, and the finished puzzle displays 180° symmetry. Answers include seven capitalized words.
