BD Rating – Difficulty *** – Enjoyment ****
This is my first attempt at doing a write-up for a Toughie and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s got some challenging clues, as well as some easy ones, and doesn’t have too many obscure words.
A slightly tricky puzzle – I was sailing along thinking I must be in tune with the setter, then got a bit bogged down. No particularly difficult clues, apart from getting the precise wording for 27 across. My first attempt hampered me from getting 24 down, I should have tackled them the other way around.
