Rainbow Quiz. Can You See The Wood For The Trees.

[rccatnap]

Hints only please.
Last one to get; brain gone to sleep!
"Longing to return after a short trip in a car but getting a clump” 7 letters.
No hurry, it closes on 31st May. Thanks in advance.

A four letter 'run' in a car, an outing. Then a three-letter word for 'longing' is reversed and added

[Nical]

...and it means 'a clump of trees'.

Let us know if you've got it now or if you need further help

[rccatnap]

Thank you Nical and elliemay1. I was fiddling around in those areas you mention, but obviously not deeply enough. I shall return, but maybe not tonight.

[rccatnap]

I lied! I did have the words you mentioned but not paired together. Goodness knows why not.
Now done. Thank you both so much; I shall sleep better AND get this damn cat off my keyboard.

The 'longing' word that's reversed could also be a foreign coin (also reversed)

[fiction-factory]

Crossed posts. Glad you're sorted

[rccatnap]

Never mind fiction-factory. Thank you for taking the trouble to respond. It's much appreciated.

[Nical]

Glad my hint helped. Glad you're all finished!
