I agree, an excellent puzzle and a fine representation of the theme.

6: the wordplay involves slang meanings
31: the wordplay parses 4,3

Overall a pleasing construction, which has been made easier than it need have been. It's unusual and unnecessary to include some letters in the original grid.

Mostly loved the puzzle, but if anyone can help me feel a bit more secure before submitting I’d greatly appreciate it!
I seem to have a great mismatch with the source material, with E =sw and A=nw if you catch my drift. Can anyone help me make sense of this, please?

Mobea, I am no expert but if you are referring to two of the 6-letter ring entries there is a reference in Wiki to the labels being reversed. Don't know if this helps?

Fun enough, but rather unsatisfactory to end up with two whole rings of random unchecked letters. Or do they represent the theme in a way I’ve failed to spot?

Thank you so much, Ozzy! I’ve looked at it a hundred times through my life and never spotted that. I’ll have to hand back my brownie observation badge

gregwatsonuk. Off the top of my head, I am pretty sure that all radial puzzles end up with a couple of circles of random letters, but don't have any hard copies to back that assertion up!

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks to Vagans for a pleasant afternoon's solve.

I'm nearly complete but can't see the wordplay for radial 19 - the first word is the definition I think but the rest eludes me. I have all the checked letters,
Ditto radial 14 I have the checked letters and the extra letter but can't fathom the island
