There's a Dead Man's Cave by a railway line near Sheffield, but he might have died of natural causes..?

Nice try, Roger – but not what I had in mind.

No sir, not Meregill Hole.

Promised Land?

Trogger · « **Reply #4562 on:** May 16, 2020, 04:39:34 pm »

Not the Promised Land.

There's a deafening silence out there, so here's a hint: first half of the clue is cryptic, second half is a comment.

Yep, I got that far. But no further!

Another hint? Will re-write original clue with slight modification: Final tri(p) to end summer? Good effort if you get this far! (8,4)

November Hole ????

Trogger · « **Reply #4567 on:** May 22, 2020, 09:05:16 pm »

Not November Hole.

Trogger · « **Reply #4568 on:** May 22, 2020, 09:13:30 pm »

Perhaps the Guardians of Azkaban are to be found there - it's remote enough?!

Fulk · « **Reply #4569 on:** May 22, 2020, 11:15:08 pm »

Well, I was confused before; I'm even more confused now.

Trogger · « **Reply #4570 on:** May 22, 2020, 11:28:49 pm »

Blimey! - try Googling the latest clue, if you can't solve the original twelve letter anagram!

Dementor Sump would fit, but I've never heard of it...

Trogger · « **Reply #4572 on:** May 22, 2020, 11:55:53 pm »

That's the one! Close to the end of Langcliffe Pot. Over to you sir...

PeteHall · « **Reply #4573 on:** May 23, 2020, 01:01:38 am »

Well I got the "sump" bit pretty quick, but would never have got the rest without your last clue.

Try this for my first ever cryptic clue:

Yes! New punk confuses nauseous livestock (6,4)

4 days, Pete, and not even a guess; is it time for another clue?
