Special Instructions: This was published on Big Dave’s Rookie Corner, where the consensus was “a bit too tough, please be gentler next time”. I’m still in two minds about it myself, so I’m interested too see how people on here find it!

It beat me good and proper, Avid! I filled the NW corner in very quickly but soon ground to a halt with around 40% of the clues complete. Some of the wordplay seemed rather convoluted, and in some of those cases it was hard to understand how the clue worked. That said, there were some very good clues in here too, my favourites being 13a, 18a, 22a, 1d, 2d and 8d.
