Only two left
10a...Unending hill to get to house ? I'm tired. ??I?H-?O. Could this be HEIGH-HO ?
and 4d...Clever group becoming very hungry ...???R?-S?T. I think the second word must be SET but I can't make anything of the clue at all. Any help would be welcome !

Thanks both. Heigh ho would seem right. But I can't see SMART SET. Yes, its a term for clever people but where does the hungry bit come into it ? Hoping to post this off this morning.....any more brainy people out there ?

it's sharp-set (archaic)

Actually, just had a thought. Perhaps its SHARP SET ? Still unsure about hungry though.

I think perhaps SMART = becoming
and SET = hungry (as in avid, keen, set on etc)
hope this helps

Bradford's Crossword Dictionary gives sharp set as a meaning of hungry.
