Thanks Umpire, this was good fun. Podium was 9a, 8d, 21d, but lots else to enjoy. I had a different (but I think valid!) answer to 11d originally, which held me up for a while.
Thanks for the puzzle Umpire, took a couple of visits but all very nicely done and an enjoyable challenge. I particularly liked 9a (fun surface), 12a (clean), 17a (neat), 6d (smooth), 8d (great spot), 15d (neat) and 20d (clean).
Well done Umpire, particularly with the splendid long ones. I ended up catching this on replay from cryptic sunday so didn't solve myself but there was plenty of fun had by all. The ones I liked included 9a, 14a, 16a, 19a, 26a, 6d and 21d. Thanks. PM
