Hello everyone
Have solved the clues that had the extra letter, the adventurous group became obvious. Started doing the jigsaw that was necessary for the answers to the asterisked clues and had the PDM of the two symmetrically placed areas, which helped no end wiith the rest of the jigsaw! I don't remember reading the books however. Weather has turned much colder here on the South Coast, not pleasant at all. It might be neccessary to have more than one preprandial Glenmorangie!
