Thanks, Mamyalynne,
I've now finished it but one clue has still got me stumped: 5D Small hospital found in a remote place (6,2,7). What has "middle of nowhere " got to do with a small hospital?

[Lie-in King]

Middle of nowhere - '(now)h(ere)' (middle is small 'h(ospital)'

[roslyn251254]

H(hospital) is the middle letter of now H ere

[mercedita]

Thank you, Lie-in King. I see what you mean, but it's not a very satisfactory clue for me, I don't think. I do like cryptic ones to have the 2 halves! :-)
