Must be PORTHCAWL, I would have thought (anagram of WRAP CLOTH); perhaps your E is incorrect?

Is the definition wrong in 9a?
Precede cry on course with energy (6)

Doesn't it mean "do without" rather than "precede"?

Thanks mamya
I don't think I would ever use it like that - I would either say "precede" or "go before".

It is simply a short way of saying - go before.

Without the 'E' it is to do without usually.

Can`t believe how stupid I was writing Welshpool. I thought there`s wool - what do the middle letters mean
I was stupid because - my son lives in Porthcawl !!
