Is there anyone out there within easy travelling distance of Brighton who might be interested in meeting up occasionally to help others or to improve their own cryptic crossword solving skills? I would be on the wanting help end of the spectrum!! This is not to denigrate the wonderful help with full explanations that I get from this site. Thanks E

Would it not be better for you to buy a book on the subject?

This is one such: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/03304 88457/crosswordcomp-21

But there are others too, including the Times version of the above.

Thank you for the book reference. I do have one but find it hard to research everything. When my daughter visits and we do one together I seem to learn quicker as she can point me in the right direction without telling me the answer. Also I remember how hard it was at the very beginning to see what any of the clues meant. I have progressed a little way. Thanks for taking the trouble to reply Happy New Year E

Yes, I understand. Hope you find someone who will be able to help - nothing like a good cryptic crossword! All the best.
