Field Hospitals

Good luck, I'm working on this one and getting
nowhere fast.

[tyrepill]

sorry ,should be Field Hospitals.. didn't notice it was plural

[supersuezy24]

Me too..the resorts are baffling me..do you have any?

[poortony]

11a Dingle
18a Portrush.

will come back if I get the others.

[supersuezy24]

What did you get for 8 down

[nearlythere]

12a - I think it's Courtown

27a - Tramore

[poortony]

I havn't got 8d but if Nearlythere is correct, then
the letters I have are ???n?e???t?d??.

I put those in to the ONE LOOK DICTIONARY
but it didn't come up with any suggestions.

I will get back to you later.

[supersuezy24]

10a is Gabon

[nearlythere]

Hi poortony. What I have for 8d is - uninterestedly..
I am still in the process of trying to finish the xword so I am not sure if this is correct.
Will let you know if I succeed. I attempt this every week but always find it irritating - not one of my favourites.

[poortony]

8d could be uninterestedly BUT do not put that in yet.

I photocopy my crosswords and work on the
copy in pencil first.

[nearlythere]

The only one I am left with now is 19a - Western coastal resort - ?i?k?e - any suggestions?

[supersuezy24]

What did you get for 4a, 4d, 6d, 12a

[poortony]

No I havn't got 19a but I going to get the atlas out.
I have not got 4a I think if I got that I would get 4 & 5d.

I leave this crossword to the last usually, so I can
concentrate on it alone, sometimes I get there and
sometimes I don't,

[poortony]

6d lager 12a Courtown

[supersuezy24]

Sorry i meant 5d..apologies

[nearlythere]

4a - bobsled
4d - Bray.
6d - Lager
12a - Courtown

[nearlythere]

supersuezy - 5d - Bundoran.

poortony - if you do get 19a - I'd appreciate the answer.
good luck. Thanks in advance.

[supersuezy24]

Thanks so much everyone

[poortony]
