Times 28389 – getting your bearings

Author   piquetPosted on 7th September 2022 at 1:45 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

My PDF print out done early doors says this was set by a gentleman called Antony Lewis. A new thing, for me, to see a Times setter named, but now I see he has been expunged. Anyway, thank you, Mr Lewis, for a pleasant challenge today.

Slightly harder than usual from Oink – I’m usually right on his/her wavelength, but not so much today. Nevertheless, all solved within target time, only 6dn holding out until the bitter end.
