Why is it HOLIDAY RESORT?

[shooty]

It looks like BB has logged off, so I assume it has something to do with Whitsuntide (whit week is an holiday)

[dannyk13]

I think the relevant part of the clue was what would make Whit with, which is why I thought correct ending.

[shooty]

I can't get into the head of the I Cryptic setter, some of his clues parse very well, while others can be right stinkers.

[dannyk13]

What do you think to my suggestion Shooty?

[shooty]

I must admit, I had to look twice at your answer. But i can see where you are coming from now. 50/50 with you and BB. Sorry for sitting on the fence.

[davey b]

Thanks folks. Still don't understand the wordplay. Anybody help?

[dannyk13]

No problem just thought that appropriate = correct and destination= ending

[shooty]

Yes i can see Danny. re-looking, I think holiday resort does fit better as whit is the holiday with appropriate surroundings (sun and tide) 'Whitsuntide'

[dannyk13]

Woild love to see the correct answer, but suppose that won't happen.

[shooty]

Got to fetch mother and take her to Hospital now, Catch you all later. : )

[shooty]

souxie will be back later. I will ask her then.

[Lie-in King]

You've got it - ^^^ - Whit(sun) is a holiday, resort (it) to get 'with'

[Wharton]

Not you two again!!

[dannyk13]

Which two?
