17d Make good journey in single attempt (2,3,2)

at one go

18d Rock, I'd say, in case of "garage" is not middle of the road (7)

wayside

thanks for clearing that up Marnie (I don't get how garage = we)
Janes post was not the most helpful i've seen.

Hi Frannie

I have 'wayside' as the answer but having read the clue again I remember now that I couldn't see the connection between w..e and case of "garage" ! Perhaps someone else can enlighten us ?

There was a discussion on 18D in answerbank "crosswords" page 7 at 10am today. Elsewhere "wayside" music is described as experimental/progressive rock .. not middle of the road - I'm more swinging sixties!

Thanks Julie, just looked at 'crosswords answerbank' (for anyone else that's interested this is one of the explanations): SWAY (rock) + IDE (i'd say) = Wayside -garage music. I'm more the Sixties too and have never heard of garage music!

I keep looking at it and I still don't like the clue

I think the music references are red herrings.
Rock I'd say = anagram of i'd say
inside
case of "garage" - best i can do here is - garage/warehouse - 1st and last letter of warehouse.
is not middle of the road = side of road

Probably a bit late for this thread but Wase Rock is a famous landmark in Nigeria, so it could be WASE I'D say = WAYSIDE. But if that was the derivation then I don't understand the need for the garage bit as the clue could simply be 'Rock, I'd say, is not middle of the road'.

Wayside is also a national chain of car dealerships: www.waysidegroup.co.uk
