there will be an extra letter in the wordplay...
26d Eager on swinging Welsh girl? (6) ??ENO? "E" is extra
29d Behind in set? Not much (7, 3 words) A??TL?T "T" is extra


Where is the 2nd element in the grid please? I have found the other 5....

26 Gaenor
29 a fat lot.
I too can’t find the 2nd element.

[professorplum13]

Thank you
.....continues studying map....

I think the 2nd element is the famous upturned 'U' shaped one (tied in with element 3). However, that only makes 37 shaded squares in all!

[ProfessorMaisie]

Now I see it - forget 'tied in with...' element 3 stands alone, giving 39 cells (sorry Gaston).

[professorplum13]

Starting letter please?

[professorplum13]

forget that ... seen it now!

[professorplum13]

whoops ... no good ...that's the one you originally had ProfMaisie...

[ProfessorMaisie]

Element 2 starts with 'S' professorplum (I started element 3 in the middle of it but there's another 'I' over to the right).

[ProfessorMaisie]

sorry! over to the left.

Ah! see what you mean now ....very devious!

[professorplum13]

Thank you ... i had the 3rd element correct but have now changed the position of some letters so that there's no overlap
