After a flying start, I’m afraid my fellow Leodensian Monk has left me stumped this morning… Some very nice clueing, including some pleasing cryptic definitions (and several excursions to Scottish outposts), but I need help with that damned north-east corner…

It took me a while to crack the clue to the theme and I was meanwhile rather apprehensive, in view of some of Paul’s recent themed puzzles, so I was very relieved to find, once I got there, that the theme was, in fact, a conducive one for me, and things fairly rapidly fell into place after that. I still found several of the answers rather tricky to parse [great cluing!], so I had several penny-dropping moments.

To be brutally honest, I have to say that Nimrod ran rings around me with today’s puzzle, even more so than usual. Of all the puzzles that I have blogged to date, this is the one that has required the greatest recourse to reference materials to check and even to find solutions, and there are still a number of gaps in my analysis of the clues that I hope that fellow solvers will be able to enlighten me on.

Monday Prize Crossword/Oct 3
Before I tackle a crossword I always have a first run through the clues. Not to try and find already some solutions but to see whether the surfaces look ‘exciting’. Crux is one of those setters whose cluing style I find consistently attractive.
