First poster here, just wanting to add my grateful thanks to everyone on this Forum for helping me with this - and previous - puzzles. My heart joined many others in sinking when I saw Maskerade's offering, but this thread gave me hope and I am working through it.
Thanks to all !

I have really enjoyed this bank holiday crossword. It has occupied me off and on for nearly 3 days. I am stuck on 2 words. The 6 letter E word which I think the clue for is: Man of note somewhere offshore, embraced by HM. I have E I - L - R Is that right?
And the 8 letter A word that is the first clue A- / I - I - I O
I think i might have made a mistake somewhere.
Any help gratefully received.

noeyedeer - are you starting from the right-hand end of row 4, as prescribed above?

sorry - that was vvhh ...

Any hints for these two most welcome

Caravan which may be a danger to bathers

Four in a lav? Not all in this one!

I have a possible solution for four in a lav but not a convincing parse.

This puzzle has certainly extended my knowledge of German culture and language.

The A10 is an old Roman Road. 90 miles in a straight (ish) line. I live at the other end but I’ve never been to King’s Lynn

smudgekent - it's the state of being a caravan - and what bathers are always told to look out for. Your other clue is a hidden ...
