Thanks loge. I’ll have another look at them. I have the top half complete and am working south.

All done, save the final step, so please could someone confirm In which direction the triangle is oriented - northwards, etc - and whether my assumption that none of the letters forming it are in the separate column is correct ?

sonofrover- assuming you know the name you’re looking for at this stage, it should pop out as there aren’t many places where a triangle of six one letter cells can actually fit in the completed grid.

You’re right that it doesn’t include the separate column.

Thanks cd. Found it now. I had in fact deleted the cells containing 2 letters from my draft grid in order to find the quarry/culprit before posting, but was fixated with equilaterals !

I would like some help with SLUR THE and MAYBE TELL which are the only acrosses I have not yet solved.

Foinaven SLUR is used here as a musical term. Think of a three letter word for a gun, usually associated with America, and a four letter word for decoy.
MAYBE TELL tell is the definition, but not in relation to speaking. Second definition in Chambers.

I feel very foolish. I have completed everything bar the first letter of the down clue CHARACTERS. Please can someone put me out of my misery?

A very clever grid fill. Thank you, Shark.

Hi, just had a wonderful week in Whitby, but struggling with this. Rhona, for "by" think maths. Can someone give me hint towards the "functional range" clue,

That had me stumped for a while too Rhona121 .. 2 by 3 = 6 for example .. does that help?

gitto .. the fish is not haddock .. cricket over .. 4-letter word meaning sea ..

Gitto, the functional range is also a maths term
