Same two for me, I'm afraid. I was trying for ??? URGE S for #2, but it didn't work.

Thanks for a challenging set, jolan. Glad to hear that your eyesight is acceptable, at least.

First two only I'm afraid.

Wow! Now that's really unusual. Ari has three and others have a combo of those three.

#4 is quite gettable, so I'll leave it until I've feasted.

#5 is a bit of an unusual one so I'll assume some of the 'crossers' have been found.

5. Mist enveloping the biker turned out to be of little importance (5,3,4) ? t ? i ? ? t ? ? ? e ? m

My knife and fork (and shovel) are ready. See you later

Evening Jolan - sorry only got 1,2 & 3 today and then got distracted by the next door neighbour, so didn't manage to post on time. Have a good evening :)

Jolan, your letter count doesn't match the letter pattern?
i managed the first three, very tough this week, thanks again i always appreciate your efforts.

Misprint in your clue, jolan - 13 letters!

Does it start ST and finish EAM, by any chance?

i can see a phrase = thanks to chrise - that is (6,3.4) but i've not heard it before, fingers crossed.

Sorry to come very late and appear to bayonet the wounded, but a "staddle" is in Chambers as "a small tree left unfelled" (lumber - saddle +t from rainforest?) and "strike the beam" (thank you Trevor and ChrisE) is part of an old expression meaning to be found wanting and is Steam + an anagram of "the biker"?
