Hi AJT

I've cracked this one ~ Araucaria at his best I reckon and it doesn't get better than that (IMO)

Need any hints?

Not yet, thanks. I seem to have all of the words, but unless there are some that don't fit into the grid I can't connect them

Have you realised that there are 24 6-letter words in the 'chain', only 12 of which belong in the grid (ie alternate ones.)

Thanks JS - I think that's what I meant by some missing. I think I've almost finished it, then. I didn't read the preamble properly.

Some great clues(particularly liked 7D) - had same prob as you AJT until I realised one of my answers couldn't fit in the grid and was "concealed".

On reviewing my answers I'm not entirely happy with definition of concealed link word 24A/21D - seems to be shared with link between 21D/12A?

Hello Ixio, - I've been out for a few hours and just come back to tackle it again.The connections aren't in order of the clues, are they?

Again, the first three letters of my 5ac seem to connect wth the first three letters of 22 ac to make the first part of the answer for 22 ac - can't be right.
