Super puzzle from Loroso, as always. I found it a lot easier to fill the grid than to explain the answers. Thanks Loroso.

Another nice puzzle from Monk, a bit trickier than the last few of his that I have blogged.

Twenty-six clues, one for each mile. I wonder if Paul concocted this idea so he could stop and have a rest every few minutes? I also wonder if Imogen was running along too, or else how did he get between mileposts in time? And if he wrote as he ran what state was the puzzle in by the time they finished, could they read it at all? Definitely an excuse to stop and rest. And did Imogen fill the grid as he ran or was it pre-filled? Whatever, setting while running seems to have had little effect on the end result, good fun to solve as always. Thank you Paul and Imogen.

I found this a bit of a struggle, which is unusual for an Aardvark puzzle.

I would have said medium difficulty except for there being one clue I cannot explain. Any help finishing this off would be appreciated. Thank you Wanderer.

A fine crossword from Loroso. One of my answers is just a guess, if anyone can explain what is going on I would be very grateful. Thank you Loroso.

Azed leads us on a very enjoyable ramble though some of the lesser-used parts of the English language, places one would never find without such a knowledgeable guide. Thank you Azed.
