[Captain2]

24a I-n-run N= close to Bern

Snow covered slope

[aeronut]

Thanks, Captain

[Captain2]

12a I want to say Rorter? = con man = wide(boy)? but can't parse it.

[highbury57]

Ranger.

[highbury57]

Try King Lear for the down clue to get rid of the second r in 22a

[highbury57]

12a!

[aeronut]

7dn is Roger as in The Murder of.
The 3rd letter has to be r
Ranger sounds good but can't be

[bobbinwales]

What;s the full clue for the one you think gives Roger

[bobbinwales]

rangers looks good to me if its Strider the Ranger from Lord of the Rings

[aeronut]

Ta, Highbury. I now understand.

[Captain2]

aeronut, highbury @20.58 is pointing you to King Lear for 7d; have you had a look yet?

[Captain2]

Sorry, crossed posts. :))

[bobbinwales]

Edgar doesnt seem to allow Ranger though

[bobbinwales]

sorry was it Regan in King Lear (never read it)

[Captain2]

bobb, you've lost me. :)))

I'll catch up with this tomorrow.

[Captain2]

Blimey, another crossed post.

[highbury57]

Very pleased everyone has caught up with everyone else. Can anyone help me with 1a to complete the grid? A hint or tip will suffice!

Wow! What would I have got had I asked for the answer?

[smallsizenun]

12A I think is RANGER (Strider aka Aragorn was called a Ranger)
