13a I have outset although I'm not entirely sure it answers the clue - Begin journey, switching parts tp compensate.
which gives me T?B/E for 14d Novel baffles a group thats taken up fiction. All I can come up with is table but that makes no sense to me. Any one able to wake me up this morning please?

Fable - hidden backwards in clue (up because it's a down clue)

[chelle7272]

which gives you fable

[rsvp]

thank you quizmonkey - guess that makes 14d fable - not a good clue imo if that's the case.

[rsvp]

and thanks chelle7272 - still don't think it's a good clue - am going back to the telegraph!

[rsvp]

I stand corrected - now I've looked properly I see that I was, indeed asleep this morning.

[chelle7272]

it's an ok clue - the word is backwards in the clue. Do prefer the Telegraph myself though :-)

[rsvp]

post crossed Chelle7272 - agree with you.
