Last queries to help me finish this:

Is 3dn spelt PLYNLIMMON?(DT spells it PLINLIMMON)
18dn I've got TR?
Is 24ac Tan?

Any explanations gratefully recieved.

Many thanks

I have

Plynlimmon - you'll need the Y for 12ac.

18d/24ac Try Fan

[eddiebun]

By the way, do you have the mountain up from 42 - If I'm right I have no room for the Y in Y LLIWEDD

[greyfox]

Excellent eddie. Thanks.

I think it's OK to leave out the 'Y' out from 42 upwards i.e. LLIWEDD - the only way the across answers at 22, 33, 36 and 38 will fit.

Which is the Dylan Thomas spelling then?

[eddiebun]

I think the normal spelling for 19d is Cadair Idris - In Under Milke Wood - it is spelt as Cader Idris

Thanks for the confirmation - I can now post it.

[eddiebun]

Apologies for the alternative spelling of Milk !

[greyfox]

Nice one! Ditto re. "recieved".

I've noticed before that Doc can be just a little careless with his puzzles. The reference to the Dylan Thomas spelling is obviously wrong.

Whoops. Should have read the other postings. I'll get my coat ...
