Hello Brendan and Tatters, and thank you both so much for your assistance in the face of my incompetence.

I should have found the words contained in the grid relating to the two anagrams. They were each formed of consecutive letters and were easily visible.

In retrospect, I am ashamed to admit that I was googling "Eton Bitmap", convinced it would show a "visual image" of I'm not quite sure what. Possibly something to do with the Eton Wall Game. But the "Eye" should have been a deterrent from sport game towards hunting game.
I was on the right lines but going up blind alleys.

I also could have, and should have checked to discover that the order of the letters in the 2 anagrams was the same (which it had to be of course because, otherwise, there would have been two different "paths"). Anyhow, Hindsight is so easy in retrospect, innit!

I am so grateful to both of you. Thank you again.

Hi Tiomateo1,

I'm glad you got it sorted. It's true that both words are easily visible (once you know where to look!), unfortunately I'd convinced myself that, as this was a Listener, they would be hidden in a diagonal, perhaps written backwards! From now on I'm going to adopt a more "Occam's razor" approach:-)
