The above is a schematic diagram of walkways (indicated by all the straight-lines) and lakes (3 of them, each in the shape of rectangles – shaded in the diagram) of a gated area. Different points on the walkway are indicated by letters (A through P) with distances being OP = 150 m, ON = MN = 300 m, ML = 400 m, EL = 200 m, DE = 400 m.

The following additional information about the facilities in the area is known.

  1. The only entry/exit point is at C.
  2. There are many residences within the gated area; all of them are located on the path AH and ML with four of them being at A, H, M, and L.
  3. The post office is located at P and the bank is located at B.

One resident takes a walk within the gated area starting from A and returning to A without going through any point (other than A) more than once. What is the maximum distance (in m) she can walk in this way?
