Pity it's not 11 letters. Because then:-
drinking aid = STRAW and untidy drinking aid = TRAWS.

mountain (in Welsh) = MYNYDD and modified (or mutated) Welsh mountain = FYNYDD.

Then following the 'in order behind' we'd get TRAWS + FYNYDD and thence to TRAWSFYNYDD lake

Thanks Jolan, that's brilliant! I had started some of that train of thought, but never arrived at an answer because of the incorrect number of letters shown.I have two more answers I am not totally convinced about - would you please have a look?
1. Turn a blink, definitely (6) [b/]

2. Following premier roadlink, two and a half equals one roundabout lightweight apple.(8) [b/].
