I've completely ground to a halt in the NW corner - any hints on 1a, 1d or 9a would be most welcome!

1a is an insertion of area in a 5 letter word of which bay is type (in fact Arachne could have just gone for a homophone).

In 9, ‘in’ indicates a hidden.

And if you get 1a and 9, 1d should become clear.

1a the bay isn't a geographical feature or a plant!

As someone mentioned earlier, 9a is the easiest clue in the puzzle. Have another look at the clue.

1a You're not at sea or howling. Get yourself to Ascot or Epsom.

1d The pre Spooner is 3,6

9a An old chestnut that should be obvious if you have the crosser from 1a.

Rogissimo @36 you have made my day. It never occurred to me that mistake might be made but that's hilarious. 🤣

Help please. I have what I think are the correct answers for 2d and 11a, but I can't parse them.
All hints gratefully received
