1 A wrong to right (4) – Tort? ( To+Rt- legal term for wrong done)
2. Are these bogs held for landings on enemy shores? (10)- Beachheads ? (heads is another word for toilets or “bogs” beachheads are areas held for landings etc)
3. Extremes of economical odds taken at mid-morning (7)- elevens? (Extremes of “economical” + “evens” (odds, so to speak) gives elevens, in Chambers as equivalent of more familiar “elevenses”)
4. Foreign buy out exuberantly devised (8) External? (“exuberantly” without “buy”-- anagram)
5. To sum up the ultimate condensation? (2,3,4)- In one word?

Here's the best I can do...
1. Tort
2. ?
3. Elevens
4. External
5. In One Word? (probably v wide of the mark)

5. in the main?

may getthis twice 1. A wrong to right (4) – Tort? ( To+Rt- legal term for wrong done)
2. Are these bogs held for landings on enemy shores? (10)- Beachheads ? (heads is another word for toilets or “bogs” beachheads are areas held for landings etc)
3. Extremes of economical odds taken at mid-morning (7)- elevens? (Extremes of “economical” + “evens” (odds, so to speak) gives elevens, in Chambers as equivalent of more familiar “elevenses”)

5. To sum up the ultimate condensation? (2,3,4)- In one word?

Also thought beachheads for 2. but don't get the bogs bit(unless it's used as a mild expletive) are/be bogs/ach?

Apologies, computer froze. Much bad language.

Good one, Jolan. For 5 I had "do the math" (sum up), a common Yankee expression that's often used both imperatively and with a sarcastic edge. I realiz(s)e that you guys say "maths", but anyway I was taking mathematics as the ultimate abstraction- or condensation. "In one word" is admirable.

Thanks all. AB has it exactl;y right. The explanations spot-on. I include my own just for completion.

1. TO + RT
2. (cryptic) BEACHHEADS. bog = toilet = head (often in plural; heads) . Beachheads are held for landings ...
3. E + L + EVENS (these are ‘odds’). Elevens is an alternate spelling of elevenses in Chambers.
4. (complex anag = devised) of ‘exuberantly’ – ‘buy’ EXTERNAL = foreign
5. (cryptic) IN ONE WORD = to sum up. The rest is the cryptic bit (condensation = anything that has been shortened)

Hope answers satisfactory

Bless

Thanks again, Jolan, for an entertaining and challenging set of clues.

Thanks Jolan, only managed three of them this week but enjoyed the challenge.
