Bugger, bear with me, this might take a while...

Too many anglicised Ivans are misplaced

Lost Johns'?

Lost Johns it is, over to you Fulk

Collar and opt out? (4,3)

Nick Pot ?

Like it...

Fulk · « **Reply #31 on:** May 26, 2013, 09:27:53 pm »

That took less than 5 minutes, Jason; nice one, over to you.

JasonC · « **Reply #32 on:** May 26, 2013, 10:53:45 pm »

OK....

The sound of monks on motorbikes ?

Vespers?

Cap'n Chris · « **Reply #34 on:** May 26, 2013, 11:46:08 pm »

These are clearly FAR TOO EASY!

Over to you Bograt....

I must say I had underestimated the cruciverbial acumen of the caving community, so by all means make 'em tougher as Cap'n Chris suggests !

It could be widened to named locations within caves to give more of a challenge?

I am impressed with the clues. Some very abstruse ones. Never been much good at crosswords but try this one.

Corrupted wet weather Saint goes underground. I am sure Capn Chris will know this one.

Gautries. Nice

Its all a question of wavelengths, over to you JasonC.

JasonC · « **Reply #43 on:** May 27, 2013, 05:11:06 pm »

OK, trying for something to keep you cryptic geniuses guessing for longer than 30 seconds...

Irishman's passing on gin, slid uncomfortably into tight spot. (5,3,2,3,4)

bograt · « **Reply #44 on:** May 27, 2013, 05:46:10 pm »

Would that be Micks End in Old Ings?

JasonC · « **Reply #45 on:** May 27, 2013, 08:05:52 pm »

Yes Bograt it would - with apologies to any Irish readers for a shockingly un-PC clue....

Over the net, back to you...

bograt · « **Reply #46 on:** May 27, 2013, 09:02:17 pm »

Court union, maybe?

Fulk · « **Reply #47 on:** May 28, 2013, 10:08:22 am »

Would I be on the right lines with 'Something Joint' (as, e.g. Timpony Joint' – though not that)?

JasonC · « **Reply #48 on:** May 28, 2013, 10:15:03 am »

Don't think so... I have an inkling of a suspicion of a possible answer

No, it is a cave name rather than a location inside one
