Started solving cryptics as a teenager in the early 2000s. I have worked as an economist in the civil service and am now teaching. I play ultimate frisbee three times a week, and help to run a community cafe in a local eco park.

Wasn’t at all on the right wavelength for this at first, but once I got going it all seemed to fall into place. I particularly liked 14ac, 18ac, 1dn, 7dn and 8dn.

Wed November 4, 2015 at 9:23 am by manehi

I’m always excited to see Arachne’s name at the top of the puzzle, and as usual she provides an entertaining challenge full of misdirection. Many lovely clues, but favourites were 10ac, 21ac, 27ac and 28ac.

A bit trickier than usual from Rufus, and a nice start to the week. A few swindles in the clues had me looking for any further connections, but I’m yet to think of any. Favourites 25ac, 5dn, 7dn, and 21dn.
