Hi, thankyou for all your help again, i promise it's not to wind people up im genuinely looking for help with the correct answers and trying really hard to solve them. I am a beginner and new to cryptic quizzes so i really am thankful and grateful for all the help form everyone on here, thanks,
I'm not sure why you feel you are new to these kelster- you asked loads of similar qustions on here 12 months ago and have then posted lots of questions from other quizes. Your profile doesn't tell the full story as around half your threads have been removed, perhaps for duplication.
Are you still looking for an answer to "4. Draw with three points ". I'll repeat my clue from earlier. Think of 3 cardinal points and an abbreviation for a draw then add the required word bury or hall.
I'm done now. I'd just send off what you've got and cross your fingers or at leats in teh satisfaction that you have helped a good cause-if there was one
Hi, i know i posted a few quizzes around 1 year ago as well, but i had only just started trying to solve cryptic quizzes around that time so i still feel that im new to solving cryptic quizzes. I am still struggling with the"4. Draw with three points " question as i can't find what the three cardinal points are, is it one of the directions on a compass and also is the abbreviation for draw "dr", im really grateful for your help, thanks,
It's 8 letters. Hall or Bury at the end accounts for 4 . There are 3 (cardinal) points in the answer. That leaves ony one letter for the abbreviation of draw

Hi, i didn't read you last post about the answer being dewsbury before i posted it, i already worked out the answer form the help given with the compass points and abbreviation for draw, also ive worked out some more answers and i would be really thankful for any help and with checking them,
37- Question Stanley about last Yorkshire canyon (13) (3 words).
Neither of your suggestions takes account of the wordplay. The Question was How. I am not sure exactly how the wordplay works for the rest but it involves Stan- see if you can get it.
'll try to explain a few more tomorrow if I get chance. Mamyalynne's advice is good- await the answers, see if you can work out how they were arrived at and ask a few on here if you still can't see them
