Thank you malone, wintonian and smothsax ... will work on those

i am missing some of the 19 letters ....
what is the defn in 24a ... i have WATE D?
and 31a ? i have ravin but can't find a defn for it?

I also only have 6 clashes ...OA, YH, OI, GN, AE, TO ...which am i missing please?

Hi Kirky.
24 has a clash in the middle letter. Clash is DT, definition is ruff.
31 Definition is soyle. Means same as ravin.
The other clash is at the end of 33, LD

many thanks Meursault!

Given the major qualification in Chambers, I thought the corrected definition for 31 rather dubious. It really needed to be preceded by 'apparently'.

Finished the grid and found the clashes and clue but cannot for the life of me find the boundary. Can somebody give me a hint please?

the boundary is in the middle inside your clashes 5,7....then correct the clashes + use other letters outside your boundary 7,9........I'm not a scientist but its easily googlable

I found the CD ROM version of Chambers (2005) very useful for confirming both elements, the boundary and the other. All I did was enter the two words of the theme into a full text search and it came up with various entries, including the two necessary ones.

Got a full grid and boundary. Struggling with the eight clashes. I can make light of five but then stuck!

Assuming in clockwise order AO IO GN AE DL DT TO HY is correct
