Thanks, ginge, that was my logic but unless you are referring to a backward PATERN I can't see what you mean

bah! i had 1 d but couldn't see why. Thanks ginge

I have a full grid and I have ascertained the 22 letters in the loop. However, I cannot see how new words are formed by moving the loop round and round. Also I cannot see the name responsible for moving up and down (6,4:separated by one cell). Any hints would be very much appreciated.

Managed to see how the 22 letters go round and round forming new words, but I still cannot see the name responsible for moving up and down.

31a Immediately got oneself wheels (3) NOW?

2d Experience of the dead left heirs desolate (6) ?E??S? relish?
