10) Britanny?

[sddsddean]

Thanks all. Obvious when you see them!, though never heard of the tiger rider. Why do you think Brittany (actually thats an area rather than a town) Drafty? Keep them coming folks!

[Janetex]

1) Ajaccio, France (Mum helped). 11) related to Gelert (welsh???)

[Janetex]

2) is probably Bavaria

[David H]

5) Tallinn (Estonia)

[sddsddean]

Thanks Janet. I've been trying to work in jack somehow. How do you get the related to Gelert bit? Bavaria is an area rather then a town, so I don't think thats it. I'd thought of Tallin as well David, but couldn't quite make the clue work. Where does the S go for an anagram? Keep them coming!

[David H]

Punctuation is often used in crosswords to confuse. Here, the s is just to show ILL ANT is ill, ie mixed up, plus N for nitrogen's symbol. So here, the s isn't part of the anagram, but part of the clue.

[Janetex]

Beddgelert or Bethgelert is a town in Wales - I know a dog called Gelert & Dafydd is Welsh so it must be connected with the myth.

[sddsddean]

Fair enough David. Problem with that Janet is that Wales was part of the UK last time I looked! Thanks anyway, keep trying; I am!!
