2,3, then 3 reversed

2 parses as 2,3,3 with the final 3 a reversal.

Quite tricky today... think I have them all correct but can't parse 26D... I have a part of body parts for that.

read 26 upwards

It sounds French then! And google isn't helping.

It is a part of a body part (of which most people have a lot, although I have quite a few less lol) though?

one 3 letter word inside another, all upwards

Ok got it now... not heard of that word for shelter before. Cheers.

Thanks Geeker and Chrise

One of the first cryptic crosswords I finished many years ago was a Rufus crossword in the Guardian and it had a clue "The longest one syllable word might (8)" and I thought hold on, isn't it actually 9A since that's 1 letter longer? :)

Sometimes I look at a completed good crossword and this was a good crossword and speculate upon which answers the compiler wanted and put in the grid first . My guess here would be 18,25 and 28.
