Thanks all for your patience and help.

All done - great puzzle, satisfying end game!

This forum is invaluable to those new to cryptics like me, so thanks once again!

Yes, Bobby Collins, I also opted for 'snow' at first, which took me off the edge of the map, though at least to a position somewhat closer to where I'd started...

I have a completed grid but I'm baffled by the wordplay for 25, 31 and 35. Can someone please help?

25 SEN = without, DOFF = strip

31 JEwS + uSEd = JESSE, candlestick, W extra

35 ELO (band) + WIN - N, W extra = ELOI from The Time Machine

25. Sen (without) + doff (strip)
31. Jews + u)se(d, "w" extra
35. Eloi, ELO (band) + wi(n), "w" extra. The "n" from "the end of Allan".

You obviously use more than finger to type KT.

I use a finger and one big toe. It may look ungainly but it works.

Hi again KT, I was criticising my own lack of typing ability, relying on just the 1 finger (hence slow) and now see I couldn't even get that right by omitting the "1" !

I know, I was just being goofy (useful rule of thumb - never take anything I post seriously).

Thank you Kilgore Trout & Ginge. It's a long while since I read The Time Machine and ELO is a distant memory from my youth.
