Hi,

Last clue is driving me mad!

23a Mooring post you measure on river (7)

R ? E ? E ? K I think there is a river Esk, but can't go any further

Any help appreciated !

Hi pigale, there are a few variant spellings but here ryepeck, r (river) + ye + peck.

RYEPECK
R(iver)
YE (you)
PECK (old measure)

Chrise and Ginge, thanks to both of you. Had a look at the link but have never heard of the word before!

To be honest, the word rang a vague bell, but I had to Google to confirm that it had the right meaning.
