Scarlett,
You need to find the prison and refuge first, then set off to column shown by letter in centre of prison, i. e. the first waymark.. and so on.

thanks muraria ...i've got the prison and have got half way down searching for the refuge ...will carry on...

It's not in English.

Yes, it's a trawl through he grid to find them!

Is the prison fictional?

No Lumen, but it's a very infamous one, with semi-fictional status

I don’t have a Z for the most famous one...
I think I’m struggling as only have 10 of the 15 extra letters. Have full grid but lots not fully parsed. Maybe extra letters in 27a, 2, 6, 18, 19, 29, 31 down?

It had a formal designation you can look up online.
There are extra letters in your last 4 above

sounds like you are thinking of the correct prison ..you need another name for it ...5 letters with some roman numerals

I haven't got all the extras either but i have N in 13a, T from 15a, I in 28a, N from 30a (i didn't have an extra in 27a ...thought the answer was just austrian/german for home??
E in 40a
Y in 8d
R in 13d
A in 16d
A in 18d
K in 29d

so i am 5 short too??

Thanks Scarlett will study this now!
