Cryptic caves

That's the one fire away then rm128!

 

[rm128]

OK then, try this:

“Summit around eradicating overdosing on Leck Fell” (6, 3)

 

[andys]

Cresta Run?

 

[rm128]

Well worked out Andy.

Summit => CREST
Around eradicating overdosing => AROUND without OD => A RUN

Take it away...

 

[andys]

Super. Try this one then...

Pitch surface - and definitely not a surface pitch! - in NC1 ( 3,4 )

 

[andys]

Clue time then? So although this is NC1, its also east of Grassington.......

 

[rm128]

The Ramp in Sleets Gill sort of fits the clue, but isn't East of Grassington. The Turf in Goyden seems to fit the clue slightly better and is East of Grassington.

 

[andys]

The Turf is is - take it away rm128......

 

[rm128]

Great stuff. To avoid ping-ponging, and as I’m away for most of the next week, I’ll let someone else jump in with a clue. Don’t be shy...

 

[Fulk]

How about this:

Dreadnought coming through in a Dales cave (10.7)

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Battleship Passage - Grange Rigg?

 

[Fulk]

That didn't take long– it's all yours, Robin.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Righty...

Sounds like a leafy vessel. (4-3)

 

[RobinGriffiths]

A clue (of sorts). Classic Yorkshire area. Its cartographic prominence is not subterraneanealy matched.

 

[ChrisB]

Kail Pot sounds like a leafy vessel, with the right number of letters, but not hyphenated?

 

[RobinGriffiths]

That's the place. Naughty me using hyphen instead of a comma.

 

[ChrisB]

A posh place to wash gardening tools (6,4)

 

[Trogger]

Marble Sink... 'appen?

 

[ChrisB]

Marble Sink it is, Trogger (gardening tools because of the area it's in). Over to you.

 

[Trogger]

Short of inspiration, so over to anyone full of ideas!
