Nearly there, but come to a standstill in top left corner. 3a would help, please: Levant dimly lit; Lebanon's first to be abandoned, beeing covered with climbers (10). Only letters I feel confident with are ????AC?LE?. Beshackled?
Don't you just feel so stupid sometimes! I clearly need to rework 7d, which was throwing me off the track! Many thanks - and sorry about the typos in my question!
