Thanks in advance.

It helps if you give full question...
Hi margaretrae. As mike b has said, it does help if you give the question and parts of the clue or answer you have already, i.e. any letters that fit. Not everybody would be familiar with this crossword (me, for one) so cannot offer any help. Good luck and keep at it. It is a great site and, people are very helpful

I have 8(b)


and 11(b)

Question Author
Thanks very much for help. I will know to put the full questions next time.
I have (c) for the answer to Q8

For the benefit of the pedantic plonkers who want to know the questions, 8 is "This is "where those yellow American school buses come to die. Moaning like wounded buffalo, they crawl up fearsome inclines laden with entire villages and their livestock." Matt Bannerman was writing about (a) Death Valley, California (b) Quetzaltenango, Guatemala (c) the highlands of Nicaragua. THE ANSWER IS "C".


11 is "How does a town like this gain a reputation for being thronged with cycle-couriers and Rollerbladers? Don't they end up, drawn ineluctably by gravity and exhaustion, pooling in low-lying areas like sedimentary Lycra?". Sam Leith was writing about (a) Vancouver (b) San Francisco (c) Seattle. THE ANSWER IS "B".


Both answers obtained by using the "Search" facility on the web-site for "Telegraph - Travel".
