I'm perfectly aware that this quiz has until 30th November before entries are overdue but I'm flying out on 1st November and not home until 23rd so I would appreciate some hints to the following:

All answers contain the letter W somewhere

26 Anniversary that's celebrated in China (9)
30 Cat with a cough - a fearsome hacker (8)
35 As before, Bet was elderly with imposing appearance, but she could get the hump (7)
46 But the old fool gets a duck (6)
49 Machine fine linen cut by her majesty (9)
54 Wolf (They could take flight) (8)
81 Place of scenic beauty the German left - to get a drink? (12)
85 Vessel for drink made from boxwood? (9)

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks Fibonacci - that certainly helped but amazingly I found 4 of the answers by myself without the link.

Only 26 and 81 left
26 Twentieth - China wedding anniversary
Question Author
I was trying to read more into 26 than was actually there. I guess I knew that it was china for a twenty wedding anniversary having passed that way myself sometime in the last century but I was trying to fit MATE or MING round a word for celebrated
81 Derwent water
Question Author
Thanks for your help!

In another moment of inspiration I've solved 81 when it has been baffling me for over 7 weeks - amazingly I was there at the beginning of September
No.
26 - wedding anniversary. 46.Name of a duck. 81 -Try the Lake District.
