AS usual I'm stuck on the 'wordplay' for three answers, although I'm sure I've got the answers.
30 across: Foolish escapade terminates thus (5) INA_E (inane)
5 down:Ancient person in Middle East? Excellent (4) MED_ (Mede)
16 down: King going on hurried long journey T_EK trek)
any explanations would be wonderful
Thanks in advance
