<pedant mode> I'm wondering if tritim230 is confusing "eg" (exempli gratia = "for example") with "ie" (id est = "that is") </pedant mode>

Quite possibly. I had had a glass of wine by that point! Well spotted and thanks for clearing that up.

It's not fair for me and Robin to play tennis, so I'll leave it for somebody else, and just note that they failed to dissolve.

Pay Sank then......

 

[RobinGriffiths]

That's the one Andy.

Okey dokey, try this one which is a section of a Dales cave.....

A bit of a hint. Franz Schubert wrote a famous song, the first part of that song name is the first part of the clue.

 

[andys]

Avelines Hole?

 

[Tritim230]

Avelines Hole?

Yes indeed.
The 'ave' is from Ave Maria
'Rule' = 'line'
'bar' = 'shoal' homonym (listeners) of 's hole'

 

[andys]

OK, another Dales cave then.....

"Point ship over to the right, almost." ( 8,3 )

"Point ship over to the right, almost." ( 8,3 )

I'm reliably informed that the clue should read ....

"Point ship over to the left, almost." ( 8,3 )

 

[andys]

Time for a clue methinks....... and that is that there is a distinct connection here with Whitesnake.

Scrafton Pot?

 

[andys]

Scrafton it is - over to you.
