Morning all!
I think I have the answer for this but I never feel comfortable if I don't know why so help please!

7a Clear off for outside sport? Not half!
?C?A?

I assume the whole is 'clear off' but how does that square with the rest of the clue?

Thank you Jazzgirl! I don't think it would ever have occurred to me that scrambling was a sport!

As well as the motorcycle sport, "scrambling" is a sort of climbing that's less serious than using ropes etc. but more serious than just hill-walking.
I should have thought of that, as I used to do it a lot when I was younger!

My late husband used to participate in motorcycle scrambling. (He thought he was James Hunt) but sadly he had an accident and smashed his knee. The motorcycle was a write off and he never turned to the sport.
He thought it was funny going through security at airports when the metal in his leg used to set the alarm off 😀
