And 13d not 14 d

Fairly similar, then.
3d parsing is really "second level" - i.e. two steps away from the answer.

Finished apart from 3d. I may need more coffee :)

I must be psychic!

Doh! Just seen 3d. All done now

Good to see that you have all finished, I'm still struggling with the top half of the puzzle!
7a Park throws out only tall supporter (5(
8a Inland route round state to cape (9) ? ? ? A ? E ? ? ?
2d Dependable way to score.(10) ? ? ? M ? T ? ? ? k
Any help appreciated.

Hi oldyalan
As you might have seen, we all found this very difficult.
7 "Park" is just P
8 The "inland route" is for boats
2 Your M is wrong.

thanks chrise could 7a be a piece of wood?

I suppose it could be wood, but nowadays it is generally metal (in ancient times it would have been stone).

Think 8a is where rockets are launched thanks to you.
