Consecutive Wrap-Around Sudoku

Consecutive Wrap-around Fiendish Sudoku puzzle
Here’s a slight twist on Consecutive Sudoku – I’ve included ‘wrap-around’ consecutive indication, where rows that start and end in consecutive digits have a white bar at the start and end of the row to show this, and similarly for columns. If they’re non-consecutive then there is no white bar. Similarly between all other squares: a white bar indiciates that two squares are consecutive, and no white bar means that they are non-consecutive.
‘Consecutive’ means that the difference between the numbers is ‘1′, i.e. they are 1&2, 2&3, 3&4, 4&5, 5&6, 6&7, 7&8 or 8&9. Other than this it’s a regular Sudoku – place 1 to 9 into each row, column and bold-lined 3×3 box.
This is also a difficult Sudoku, so if you can solve it under 20 minutes that would definitely be good going. Don’t forget about the non-consecutiveness – this is very important to reach the solution, and don’t forget about the wrap-around!
Good luck!

Really enjoyed this puzzle. The wrap around element was a new twist. I didn’t quite manage it in the twenty minutes but wasn’t far off. It didn’t seem too difficult once it got going.

I agree with Christine above. This one is a good starter to get a feel for consecutive sudoku. I believe I am getting better at these since it took me about 25-30 minutes this time.
It started as a burst, then evaluate, then burst again, then more thought, etc.
