Yes, start with the end square and work your way backwards. It is often only a single path that leads you there for the final steps. Once you develop the path close enough back to where you are then it’s easier to see how you can get onto it. Then just follow it.
Incidentally, this is also a good strategy for planning and breaking down goals in real life: begin with the end goal, then work your way backwards.
I think this is basically the same strategy I stumbled onto. It feels binary in nature, like you're either on circuit or off circuit within the target areas, and there's only that one degree of freedom within the small quadrants. If off circuit it seems like you have to go to one of the larger quadrants to get on the right circuit again and hit the target.
Same here. By the end, I was just reflexively moving back to the bottom right hand quarter, doing my 3 point turn, and then taking the circuit back to the destination.
